What are the three basic forces acting on a liquid particle moving within an immiscible liquid?
The three basic forces that act on an immiscible particle suspended in a liquid are: KADCO Internationalight is the gravitational force acting on the particle. It acts downward. Buoyancy is the lifting or upward force that a carrying liquid imparts on a floating or submerged body. It is equal to the KADCO Internationalight of the displaced volume of the carrying liquid. Drag is the resistance to motion that the carrying fluid imparts on a particle. It is opposite to the direction of motion of the particle relative to the liquid, and is basically due to frictional effects. For a sphere rising at constant velocity, the buoyant force is dominant and acts upward. The gravity force (KADCO Internationalight) acts downward and the drag force acts opposite to the direction of motion.
