  • where was my question??

    Roughly, I thought if there was no attractive force from the earth/ or very small, would there be a motion to the earth?? And how long would it take to do so??

    I think that's the only question I would like to raise. It would be appreciated if you can help to answer..

  • @dicksang2- Gravity is not absent in space. There is microgravity(10^ -6g). That is enough for motion to occur. As the gravitational force will be very small, an object is expected to take a lot longer than on earth. How long exactly is hard to say because there are numerous unknown forces acting in space. My experiment will be determining practically how long an object would take to fall through a liquid.

    I hope I have satisfactorily cleared your doubt.

  • There is a small error in the result. A fluid is"less" viscous in space, not "more" viscous. We apologize for that little error

  • um.....there's a mistake in the result.... eta is directly proportional to g, so as g reduces, a liquid will become less viscous, not more.
