Viscosity

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about viscosity, which is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It often involves discussing the properties of liquids and gases, as well as how temperature and pressure can affect viscosity.

Answer

Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow or deformation.

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or deformation at a given rate. It is commonly described informally as the 'thickness' of a fluid.

Answer for screen readers

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow or deformation at a given rate. It is commonly described informally as the 'thickness' of a fluid.

More Information

The viscosity of a fluid influences how it flows: low viscosity fluids flow easily, like water, while high viscosity fluids flow more slowly, like honey.

Tips

It's important not to confuse viscosity with density; they are different properties that describe different aspects of a fluid.
