Effect of pressure on viscosity We see that there is an effect of pressure on the coefficient of viscosity of liquids if pressure increases; the…

Effect of temperature on co-efficient of viscosity in Gases The effect of temperature on gases is opposite to that of liquid. In case of gases…

Effect of temperature on co-efficient of viscosity in Liquids Co-efficient of viscosity is affected by temperature. Experimental results show that with the increase of temperature…

Necessity of viscosity Viscosity is the measure of a substance’s resistance to motion under an applied force. (1) Design and construction of boats, steamers, launches,…

Co-efficient of Viscosity Definition: For unit velocity gradient the amount of viscous force that acts per unit area of a fluid is called co-efficient of…

Viscosity or Internal Friction Definition: The property of a fluid which tries to oppose or retard relative velocity between different layers inside the fluid is…

Theoretical Explanation of Terminal Velocity From Stokes law – “the force required to move a sphere through a given viscous fluid at a low uniform…

Dependence of Terminal Velocity (a) Terminal velocity at a point is inversely proportional to the coefficient of viscosity. (b) Terminal velocity is directly proportional to…
