Answer:
There are many applications of viscosity in our daily life:
1. The viscosity of house or car paints are closely monitored and regulated so that they can be easily applied with a simple paint brush or roller
2. Viscosity of many liquid drugs is regulated for easier flow, and absorption in the body.
3. Viscosity is regulated in many industrial applications so as to pump the liquid easily from one compartment to another.
4. A extremely classic example is the application of viscosity change in thermometers. With increase in body temperature, the viscosity of Mercury changes (decreases) leading to smoother flow and indication of body temperature.
