Viscosity
Viscosity: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as, Condition for Start of Turbulence, Reynolds Number, Temperature and Viscosity & Pressure and Viscosity etc.
Important Questions on Viscosity
Statement (A): When the temperature increases the viscosity of gases increases and the viscosity of liquids decreases.
Statement (B): Water does not wet an oily glass because cohesive force of oil is less than that of water.
Statement (C) : A liquid will wet a surface of a solid if the angle of contact is greater than .
