Measuring this is the goal of the pitch drop experiment, and one unit this quantity is measured in is poise.
This property can be measured using a Zahn cup, and for special cases, shear stress can be calculated as the product of shear strain and this property. Measuring this is the goal of the pitch drop experiment, and one unit this quantity is measured in is poise. Stokes' law gives drag force for a spherical object as six pi times radius times velocity times this property, and the Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to forces caused by this. This property has a constant value for Newtonian fluids, and it exists in kinematic and dynamic forms. For 10 points, name this term for a fluid's resistance to flow.
This property can be measured using a Zahn cup, and for special cases, shear stress can be calculated as the product of shear strain and this property.
