Ladenburg correction: V_t = v(1+2.4 r/R). This correction is due to wall effect only right?? Does v is the terminal velocity or the instantaneous velocity?? and if it is terminal how practically can i measure it without high-tech sensors(let's us say manually :d)?

OpenStudy (surry99):

1) Terminal velocity 2) a common experiment is to drop steel balls into graduated cylinders with glycerine. 3) the terminal velocity is determined by placing two pieces of tape a fixed distance apart on the cylinder and measuring the time it takes to cover this distance. 4) The first piece of tape near the top is placed about 1 inch from the top of the glycerine since it is expected that the terminal velocity is reached shortly after it enters the fluid.

Thanks i forgot that it's constant velocity :(
