Columns 3–6: Time constants (in milliseconds). In the columns labeled exp, the time constant is computed using the ki-values obtained from the zero-time correlation functions and the drag coefficient calculated from the stalk length measured from the videos. In the columns labeled calc, the time constants are obtained from the theoretical correlation functions and values of k1, k2, k3, r1, and r2 from the fits.
