Stokes' law states that the viscous drag force $F$ experienced by a sphere of radius $a$, moving with a speed $v$ through a fluid with coefficient of viscosity $\eta$, is given by $F=6 \pi \eta a v$. If this fluid is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of radius $r$, length $l$ and pressure difference of $p$ across its two ends, then the volume of water $V$ which flows through the pipe in time $t$ can be written as $\frac{V}{t}=k\left(\frac{p}{l}\right)^a \eta^b r^c$, where $k$ is a dimensionless constant. Correct values of $a, b$ and $c$ are
