4 applications of viscous property in liquid
Answers
First of all let us know the definition of VISCOSITY.
Q1.What is meant by viscosity?
answer➡️It is the property of a fluid by virtue of which it opposes the relative motion between its different layers.
●Greater the viscosity, the more sticky is the liquid i.e the liquid is not a easy flowing one.
Now lets come to your question then.
Q2. What are the applications of the viscous property of a fluid?
answer➡️The applications can be as follows:-
✍Usage of oil as a lubricant in machines. They must have a high viscosity so as to ensure that it does not flow out of the applied parts.
✍Used as buffers at railway stations.
✍It is highly useful in determining the molecular weights of organic fluids.
✍This property of the liquid is highly functional in damping the motion if many instruments .
A SPECIAL PROPERTY OF VISCOSITY IN WATER:--
●Generally viscosity of a fluid increases with the increase in the pressure BUT in water there is a decrease.(for first 100 atm of pressure)
