(g/18*viscosity )*(G-1) * (d*d).
(9.81/18*0.01) * (2.67-1)* (0.05*0.05),
Answer 0.2275 cm/sec.

Agree, @Vasatha Devi G.

Vt =gd^2(dp-dm)/18v.

(g/18μ)*(G-1)*(d^2).

Settling velocity = (g/18)(ρs - ρw)(d^2/μ).
= (9.81/18) * (2.67-1) * (((0.05x10^-2)^2)/(0.01x10^-4),
= 0.2275 cm/sec.

To, Calculate Terminal Velocity.

V = Terminal Velocity.
D = Diameter Of a Particle.
g = Acceleration Of Gravity.
v = Viscosity Of Medium.
dp = Density Of Particle.
dm = Density Of Medium.

Terminal Velocity = 2(radius of particle)^2 / 9(liq viscosity) x (specific weight of body-sp. wt of liq).

Settling velocity = (g/18)(ρs - ρw)(d^2/μ).

g = 9.81m/s2, ρs = 2.67g/cc, ρw = 1g/cc, d = 0.05cm, μ = 0.01poise.

Terminal velocity v = (d^2/18*viscosity) * (unit wt of water (G of soil - G of fluid)).
=> (5 * 10^-4) ^ 2/(18 * 10^-4 kn.s/m^2) * (9.81 (2.67 - 1))
= .002275 m/s.
= .2275 cm/s.
