Physics

Starting from rest, a 36.7-gram steel ball sinks into a vat ofcorn syrup. The thick syrup exerts a viscous drag force that isproportional to the ball\'s velocity:

Drag= -Cv

where C = 0.270 N·s/m is a constant related to the size andcomposition of the ball as well as the viscosity of the syrup. Findthe rate at which gravitational energy is converted to thermalenergy once the ball reaches terminal velocity. (in W)
