Stoke's law sates that the velocity at which a grain settles out of suspension, the other factors remaining constant, is dependent upon

Using the Stokes’ Law, we can predict the settling velocity of particles of different sizes. The large grain settles faster than the small size grain. Stokes’ Law of Sedimentation is generally used to calculate the value of the terminal velocity, but we can also calculate the value of the viscosity of the fluid.
