Dimensional analysis is an incredibly powerful in physics. It helps you constrain the form of possible equations just by considering the dimensions/units of the relevant quantities. In this problem, we determine the form of the equation that the drag force of a sphere in a viscous fluid needs to take. The relevant quantities are the fluid's viscosity, the sphere's radius, and the velocity of the sphere.
