Viscosity

The measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow is known as viscosity. Most fluids have some resistance to motion, the resistance provided by the fluid is called viscosity. This resistance is created by the force of attraction between the fluid molecule…

Poiseuille's Law

The law of Poiseuille or Poiseuille's equation states that the pressure drop of an incompressible fluid especially a liquid in a laminar flow that passes through a cylindrical tube of length L, radius r, pressure gradient ΔP, and mainly depends on the vi…

Drag Forces

Forces that occur due to the movement of fluid are known as fluid mechanics. Following are the fluids present:

Students have asked these similar questions

Three containers are filled with water to the same heightand have the same surface area at the base, but the totalweight of water is different for each (Fig. 10–46). In whichcontainer does the water exert the greatest force on thebottom of the container?(a) Container A.(b) Container B.(c) Container C.(d) All three are equal.

If an empty cylinder is half filled with a liquid, its center of gravity is: A) shifted upwards B) shifted downwards C) shifed neither upward nor downward D) shifted upward or downward depending on the density of the liquid

Why does the weight of an object in air differ from its weight in a vacuum (remembering that weight is the force exerted against a supporting surface)? Cite an example in which this would be an important consideration.
