You can not. Density is a property based on the mass and volume of the fluid, while viscosity is a derived property based on the fluids shear and strain.

Does density tie in with viscosity?

Fluid behavior is related to both density and viscosity. By using the kinematic and dynamic viscosity of a fluid, the density can be calculated.


What is Kinematic viscosity?

It is the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid.


If you increase density of liquid the effect on viscosity is?

The viscosity of the liquid will increase.


How does the density of a liquid affects its viscosity?

denser liquids tend to have more viscosity


How does viscosity compare to density?

they are two truly different concepts. The density is a measurement of the molecular weight of the composition. In simpler words, density = number of molecules x molecular weight/volume occupied, while the viscosity is a measurement of the inter-molecular forces and molecule shapes. Viscosity tells you the "friction" between two layers of the given fluid, while density varies slightly with temperature, viscosity changes rapidly. Both density and viscosity decreases with temperature, but viscosity mostly has an exponential relationship with temperature. Density holds a linear relationship. This temperature viscosity relationship is the base of the auto lubricant technology. Viscosity and density are two different physical phenomena depending on totally different aspects. The common misconception of "heavier fluids are more viscos" is to be omitted.


What is the relation between viscosity and density of a liquid?

Both are indirectly related through temperature. When temperature increases both viscosity and density increases.


What is vescocity?

Rate of flow any liquids is called viscosity... Viscosity depends on the density...


Does the density of a liquid affect the liquids of viscosity?

denser liquids tend to have more viscosity


What is a property of a shampoo?

For ex. density, viscosity.


How adding water affects viscosity?

it increases mass in same volume, therefore density(viscosity) increases =)


What type of oil has the greatest density?

A motor oil with a high viscosity (resistance to flow) like SAE 50, will be your greatest density motor oil. Low viscosity like SAE 20 will have the least density.


What has Low density and high viscosity?

honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
