Actually, Stokes’ law gives viscous retarding force to motion of a sphere
through a fluid:
F = 6(pi) R v h
Stoke’s Law, although it applies only to spheres moving with irrotational
flow through a viscous fluid, is representative of the viscous frictional
force on any “streamlined” object moving through a fluid. In the absence of
turbulence, viscous friction is always opposite to velocity and proportional
to the product of speed, viscosity and linear dimension; the proportionality
constant depends on shape.

Or were you trying to say "Strokes Law"
