Are Viscosity and Density related?
No. Oils are highly viscous, yet relativly non-dense, while water is fairly dense, while being relativly non-viscous.
What would a dense liquid do to materials inside it?
Density is just one aspect to the physical properties of a liquid if the liquid is very dense, less dense materials can float on it and denser materials will sink into it for example, salt, a moderately dense mineral, can float on mercury, a very dense liquid at room temperature. Viscosity is the next aspect to liquids and probably the word you were looking for when the question was asked. A high-viscosity liquid is very thick. Gelatin is a very Viscous liquid; Water, a not-so-viscous liquid. high-viscosity liquids slow down the movement of objects inside of them. hence why Grandma can make Fruit suspend inside of Jello. Chemical properties are the third aspect. if you put pure potassium inside of water, the water would react and make a fireball. (however it is ill-advised to do so unless you are experienced with chemicals
How is viscosity and density related?
Viscosity is the thickness or thiness of a fluid, Density is the space between particles.When a fluid is heated, it becomes less viscous(thinner) and the particles move far apart so it is less dense. Temprature affects density and viscosity.Something that is dense doesn't have to be viscous and vice versa.EX: Salt water is dense but not viscous.Honey is very viscous but not very dense
What is the definition of viscous drag in a liquid?
It is the '''''resistance''''' to flow in a liquid.
What is relation between viscocity and density?
The more dense a substance is, the more viscous it is.
If a substance is viscous is it denser than a less viscous liquid?

Is viscous liquid a sludge?
no. but a sludge is a viscous liquid
Define volatile and viscous?
Viscous means how thick a LIQUID is and how tightly the particles are packed together if the liquid is thick(less runny) it is more viscous if the liquid is thin(more runny) it is less viscous
Can a viscous fluid be less dense then fresh water?
Yes, for example oil is less dense than water even though it is more viscous.
Are Viscosity and Density related?
No. Oils are highly viscous, yet relativly non-dense, while water is fairly dense, while being relativly non-viscous.
What does the word non viscous mean?
Non-viscous is a scientific term that refers to the pouring characteristic of a liquid. A non-viscous liquid is one that pours thinly, with minimal bulging, drop formation or trailing string formation. An example of a non-viscous liquid would be alcohol; a viscous liquid (the opposite) would be maple syrup.

Is honey a viscous liquid?
no honey is not dense than oil because oil has grease in it which makes it thinner but honey is too thick to be more dense than oil Another Answer: Honey is more dense than water. Water will float on honey. Try it. Is oil is more dense than water. Take some cooking oil and pour it on water. Which floats on the other? If the oil floats on the water then honey is more dense than honey. If the water floats on the oil then you will need to see if the oil floats on the honey or if the honey floats on the oil.

Is vinegar a viscous liquid?
Yes, becuse a homogenous mixture is formed when vinegar is added into water
Can you swim in lava with a fire proof suit?
No. Even if you were to somehow become invulnerable to heat, lava is too dense and to viscous to swim in. It is liquid, but it is much thicker than water.
What a thick and gooey liquid?
Viscous
