A water drop of radius $1\,\mu m$ falls in a situation where the effect of buoyant force is negligible. Coefficient of viscosity of air is $1.8 \times 10^{-5}\,Nsm ^{-2}$ and its density is negligible as compared to that of water $10^{6}\,gm ^{-3}$. Terminal velocity of the water drop is________ $\times 10^{-6}\,ms ^{-1}$
