$m g - F_{B} - F_{v} = m a$

$(ρ \frac{4}{3} π r^{3}) g - (ρ_{L} \frac{4}{3} π r^{3}) g - 6 π η r v = m \frac{d v}{d t}$

Let $\frac{4}{3 m} π R^{3} g (ρ - ρ_{L}) = K_{1} and \frac{6 π η r}{m} = K_{2}$

$\frac{d v}{d t} = K_{1} - K_{2} v \Rightarrow d v = (K_{1} - K_{2} v) d t$

$\int_{0}^{v} \frac{d v}{K_{1} - K_{2} v} = \int_{0}^{t} d t$

$- \frac{1}{K_{2}} \ln {[K_{1} - K_{2} v]}_{0}^{v} = t \Rightarrow \ln (\frac{K_{1} - K_{2} v}{K_{1}}) = - K_{2} t$

$K_{1} - K_{2} v = K_{1} e^{- K_{2} t} \Rightarrow v = \frac{K_{1}}{K_{2}} [1 - e^{- K_{2} t}]$
