Introduction
Viscosity is a fundamental property of
fluids that determines their resistance
to flow. It can be thought of as the
internal friction or stickiness of a fluid.
Viscosity plays a crucial role in various
fields, including physics, engineering,
and biology.

Viscosity Formula
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's
resistance to flow. It determines
how easily a fluid can be poured,
stirred, or pumped. Viscosity is an
important property in various
industries as it affects the
performance and behavior of
liquids.
Liquid Viscosity
