Viscous Drag, Viscosity and Stokes Law

Fluids and fluid flow 2 - Flash card test

?
What is viscous drag?
Drag caused by the friction created between a layer of fluid and the side of the container, which has an affect on successive layers of fluid.
1 of 8
Viscous drag is labelled as a single force acting in the opposite direction to the relative motion of the fluid past the solid. True or false?
True!
2 of 8
Viscosity affects viscous drag. What is the relationship between viscosity and viscous drag?
The more viscous a fluid is, the more viscous drag there is acting upon the fluid.
3 of 8
What is the symbol for (the coefficient of) viscosity?
η, eta
4 of 8
What are the units for viscosity? (2 answers)
PaS and Nsm-2
5 of 8
Convert the units of viscosity into bas units.
kgm-1s-1
6 of 8
In general the viscosity of liquids increases with temperature, and the viscosity of gases decreases with temperature. Vrai ou Faux?
Faux!
