If I remember right, viscosity refers to the fluid's resistance to external force. And thicker fluid tends to be more viscous. Water is pretty thin and when you spill it spreads quickly from the impact zone. Maple syrup, on the other hand, is thicker and more vicous, and when you spill it, it doesn't spread around as readily.... And if you spilled it on a carpet, it's a lot harder to clean maple syrup than water.

What are some real life examples of viscosity?
Any fluid is an emaple of viscosity.
What is an example of fluid friction?
example of fluid friction are air resistance or drag because an object moving through air actually collides with miniature particles, specially dust particles .
What are Properties of bitumen?
Bitumen is a visco elastic material. that is at room temperature it act as a semi solid. in high temperatures over 60C it acts as a Newtonian fluid or low viscosity liquid. Penetration and viscosity are the main two properties checked to categories bitumen. on the other hand flash point,fire point,solubility, ductility and softening point of the bitumen are also checked.
What is the formula for calculating volume of liquid?
The formula for calculating the volume of fluid to the fluid container in which it is located. For example. If the container is cylindrical. Area x height = volume of liquid
An example of fluid friction?
An airplane flying through the air, a swimmer diving into a pool etc.
How does a thickness of a fluid compare to its viscosity?
The more thick the substance is, the higher the viscosity.
What is the thickness of a fluid called scientificly?
The thickness of a fluid is called its viscosity.
What can refer to the tHickness of a fluid and how fast it flow?
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its thickness or resistance to flow. It determines how fast a fluid can flow, with higher viscosity fluids flowing more slowly than lower viscosity fluids.
How is the thickness or a thinness of a fluid measured in?
The thickness or thinness of a fluid is measured by its viscosity. Viscosity is the property that determines a fluid's resistance to flow, with thicker fluids having higher viscosity and thinner fluids having lower viscosity. Viscosity is typically measured in units such as centipoise (cP) or Pascal-seconds (Pa·s).
What is sivistyco unscrambled?
The anagram is viscosity (thickness of a fluid).
Does ketchup have viscous?
Yes, ketchup is a viscous fluid. Viscosity refers to a fluid's resistance to flow, and the thickness of ketchup makes it a good example of a viscous liquid.
Show me the viscosity of mount saint helens.?
what does viscosity mean?The resistance of a fluid to being changed (thickness)
What the fluid measure of viscosity?
Viscosity is the measure of friction between adjacent layers of materials.
What is the speed of a liquid?
I think you may be talking about viscosity. The viscosity of a liquid is its resistance to flow, or its thickness. A less viscous liquid will flow more quickly than a more viscous fluid. As an example, water has very low viscosity and molasses has a high viscosity.
What does vescosity mean?
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes how easily a fluid can flow or how thick and sticky it is. High-viscosity fluids like honey flow slowly, while low-viscosity fluids like water flow quickly.
What is the name of the thickness property of a fluid that creates boundary layers and shear stress?
The property is viscosity. Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation or flow, which creates boundary layers and shear stress when fluid flows over a surface.
if a substance pours very slowly it has a high what?
The characteristic is called viscosity. Viscosity is the quality that describes a fluid's resistance to flow.(It is what is more commonly called the thickness of a fluid.)
