By: Colin Patrick, Trent McInturff, Michael Billups Abstract This report discusses the methods with which the viscosity of liquid glycerin is determined, and uses the data to validate Stokes’ Law. Two experiments were performed: the viscosity of glycerin was determined using a rotational viscometer, and the data used to validate Stokes’ Law was collected using a falling ball viscometer. Results showed that either method showed significant error and did not validate Stokes’ Law; though the revised Stokes’ Law equation gave […]
