The drag force that stops small spherical particles from falling through a fluid medium is described by Stokes' law, a mathematical equation.
According to Stokes law, the drag force F is equal to 6πrηv, where r is the radius of the sphere, η is the viscosity of the liquid, and v is the rate of fall.
