Stokes' Drag in Fluid Force Formulas

Stokes’ drag is a frictional force acting on the interface between the fluid layer and the adjacent layer of the spherical object. And is denoted by F_d. Stokes' Drag is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Stokes' Drag is always positive.
