What is a Fluid?
Solids:
Density of water at
4C is 999.98 kg/m3
Viscosity
Density and specific gravity are measures of how heavy the fluid is.
Viscosity is a measure of the fluidity of the fluid (i.e. how easily can
this fluid flow).
Although many oils are lighter than water ( 900 kg/m3) however,
they are more sluggish than water because they are much more
viscous.
Viscosity-II
SI units: m2/s
British units: 1 Stokes (St) = cm2/s = 10-4 m2/s
1 cSt = 10-6 m2/s
