Sedimentation was discovered by Reuss in 1809. Sedimentation is the suspension of particles that settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier.

How molecular weight and sedimentation constant is related to each other?

Molecular weight and sedimentation constant are related through the Svedberg equation, which states that the sedimentation constant (S) is inversely proportional to the molecular weight of a molecule. This means that larger molecules with higher molecular weights will have lower sedimentation constants, while smaller molecules with lower molecular weights will have higher sedimentation constants.
