//Example 9_12 clc(); clear; //To find out the sedimentation rate of spherical particles b=2*10^-3 //units in cm g=9.8 //Units in meters/sec^2 n=1 //units in m PI Pp_Pt=1050 //units in Kg/Meter^3 vt=(((2*b^2*g)/(9*n))/(2*Pp_Pt))*10^6 //units in cm/sec printf("Sedimentation is vt=") disp(vt) printf("cm/sec") //in text book answer is printed wrong as vt=4.36*10^-3 cm/sec but the correct answer is vt=4.14*10^-3 cm/sec
