By checking the homogeneity of the equation, deduce whether the equation is correct. [2] (b) The drag force F experienced by a steel sphere of radius r dropping at speed v through a liquid is given by 2 2F Br v  where B is a constant. A student obtained the following set of data for a steel sphere dropping through a fluid. F = (8.0  0.1) mN r = (3.0  0.1) cm  = (1.00  0.
