Explanation:
Fluid friction is the force that resists motion either within the fluid itself or another medium moving through the fluid. Fluid friction depend on an object speed with respect to the fluid . The fluid friction also depends on the shape of the object and the nature of the fluid.

Answer:
What is fluid friction ? Mention any two factors on which the force of fluid depends on?
Fluid Friction is a friction that acts on objects moving through a fluid. A fluid can be liquid as well as any gaseous substance. When an object moves through fluid, then the fluid pushes back on the object. This push of fluid on the moving object creates friction which tends to slow down the motion of the object.
The factors on which the force of fluid depends on are :-
- Depends on the speed of the object and respect to the fluid.
- It also depends on the shape of the object and the nature of the fluid.
More to know :-
- The Frictional force exerted by fluids is also called drag.
- To reduce the fluid friction , objects have special shape. This shape is called Streamlined shape.
- The objects with streamlined shape have pointed fronts with little broader middle portion which gets tapered at the back.
- Nature also have many examples of streamlined body like fish and bird. This organism have to overcome fluid friction. Hence, they have streamlined body.
- Some artificial objects around us like Aeroplane also have streamlined bodies to overcome fluid friction.
Hope it helps...
