(a) Calculate time required for a virus particle that is 50 nm (50x10-9m) in diameter with a density of 1.03 g cm-3suspended in water with a density of 1.0 g cm-3to settle out of a water column that is 3 m deep. Assume the dynamic viscosity is 1x10-3kg m-1s-1. (b) What is the time required if the virus particle was attached to an Al(OH)3floc that is 0.1 mm in diameter with a density of 2.0 g cm-3? (Ignore contribution of virus particle to diameter and density of the floc.)
