Viscosity is the resistance offered to the fluid molecules which opposes the flow of fluid It is the type of friction between the molecules of fluid and generally characterised by the thickness of fluid, more the thickness more the viscosity

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Or the property of a fluid by virtue of which an internal frictional force acts between its different layers which opposes their relative motion is called viscosity.

You are Just one demo class away from feeling the physics in nature's purest form.

To tell in simple terms i must say that when a liquid (or fluid) flows its different layers resist each other's motion. This resistance (or u may say internal friction) among layers of a fluid during its motion is known as viscosity. One can think of vioscosity as analogous to resistivity in electri...

Force of 16N and 12N are acting on a mass of 200kg in mutually perpendicular directions. Find the magnitude of the acceleration produced.
Resultant force F= sqrt (16^2+12^2) => F=20N So F=ma => a=F/m=20/200 => a=0.1 ms-2
