Dear Dr Ajith Sir,
In The Phoenix workshop 2nd - 7th may, I have proposed to built a falling
ball viscometer with the expeyes system.and It sounded interesting and
doable to few present there.
Back home I have tried to implement the idea. You need graduated cylinder
with the experimental liquid and a spherical ball to fall freely through
it.Commonly available metal balls have so high density that It cant achieve
terminal velocity for the taken length of the cylinder. Plastic balls I used
float, so does not serve my purpose.To measure the density of commonly
available liquids, I need a small ball of material density slightly grater
than 1200Kg/m3.
Do any of the group has a suggestion ?
What is more interesting is that the same apparatus with slight
modifications can be used as a densitometer, once the stated problem is
solved .
