As an approach to the motion of the particles in the anisotropic liquid, we analytically study the Stokes drag of spherical particles in a nematic liquid crystal. The Stokes drag of spherical particles for general anisotropic case is derived in the terms of multipoles. In the case of weak anchoring...
