Terminal speed Definition and 30 Threads

In vacuum and weightlessness, at the bottom of a cylindrical vessel (a cup), there is a layer of solid substance of molar mass μ. This substance sublimes slowly (evaporates from the solid phase into gaseous phase) and pushes thereby the vessel to the opposite direction. Estimate the terminal...

To write ##v## as a function of time, I wrote the equation ##m\frac{dv}{dt} = c_{2}v^2 + c_{1}v - mg \implies \frac{mdv}{c_{2}v^2 + c_{1}v - mg} = dt## To solve this, I thought about partial fractions, but several factors of ##-c_{1} \pm \sqrt {c_{1}^2 +4c_{2}*mg}## would appear and they don't...
