Calculating terminal velocity of a magnetc falling down a copper tube.

variables: tex2html_wrap140 , this means 6-3 dimensionless variables.

tex2html_wrap141

so tex2html_wrap142

This means tex2html_wrap143 . Guess tex2html_wrap144 . This means tex2html_wrap145 This doesn't work. reason: missing c. variabl

es: tex2html_wrap146 , this means 7-3=4 dimensionless variables.

tex2html_wrap141

This means: tex2html_wrap148

Now remember ohms law: tex2html_wrap149 . This gives: tex2html_wrap150 .
