How to find the diameter of sphere passing same sieve aperture (d_sieve) as a platelet?The platelet has a shape of a cylinder (d=100 micrometers and L=1 micrometers). Also, d >> L: platelet. The answer is 70.7 micrometers but I am not sure why. I have been looking trying to solve this for a long time but with no success at all. Please, help me.

 

I know that the sieve diameter is the width of the minimum square aperture of the sieve through which the particle will pass.
