Question

Coefficient of viscosity of glycerin in cgs units

Answer 1

Co-efficient of Viscosity:
The viscosity force acting tangentially on unit area of the liquid when there is a unit velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the flow is called the co-efficient of viscosity.

C.G.S unit :   Poise
  S.I unit:       Pa-sec   

Co-efficient of viscosity of glycerin = 0.950 Pa-sec
Since 1 Poise = 0.1 Pa-sec
So, co-efficient of viscosity of glycerin =  9.5 poise

Answer 2

The answer is poise.

Coefficient of viscosity is defined as the extent to which the flow of a fluid is resisted when a force is applied. The CGS unit for coefficient of viscosity of a liquid is the same as that of its viscosity irrespective of the liquid. Hence, the CGS unit of coefficient of viscosity of glycerin is poise.
