A rigid spherical particle is undergoing free settling in a liquid of density 750 \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), viscosity \( 9.81 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Pa.s} \). Particle density is four times the liquid density. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as \( 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) and assuming Stokes' law is valid, the terminal settling velocity of the particle in \( \text{ms}^{-1} \) is:
