Question

find the reason of the following
a ) honey will not flow like water
b) in kerosene lamp oil race upwards through the wick .
c) mercury shows capillary depression ​

Answer 1

Answer:

honey will not flow like water

Explanation:

I hope my right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

a) Viscosity is the measure of resistance of a fluid to flow. A fluid that is highly viscous has a high resistance (like having more friction) and flows slower than a low-viscosity fluid. ... Honey would move slower than water, so honey would have a greater viscosity.

b) Due to presence of pores (narrow spacing's) in the wick, capillary action takes place, which makes the oil to rise in the wick

c) This is due to the property of surface tension. Water makes an acute angle of contact with glass, so it rises while mercury makes an obtuse angle of contact with glass , so it falls in a capillary tube.
