Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow?
  • Step 1: Understand that fluids can be liquids or gases.
  • Step 2: Know that when we talk about how easily a fluid flows, we are discussing its resistance to flow.
  • Step 3: Learn that the term used to describe this resistance is 'viscosity.'
  • Step 4: Recognize that a fluid with high viscosity is thick (like honey), while a fluid with low viscosity is thin (like water).
