η = F / ( A x velocity gradient ) unit is Ns/m

velocity gradient = ( v2 - v1 ) / d

d is separation between two adjacent layers

What force opposes motion in fluids?

Viscous force


Why is it harder to move through a vicous liquid?

the viscous force is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid. so the more viscous a liquid is, more the viscous force and harder it is to move for a bod through it.


Reynolds number in terms of inertial force and viscous force?

Reynolds number is the ratio of inertia force to the viscous force. Reynolds number is used to find out the flow whether it is laminar or turbulent.


Force that resits motion?

Force that resists motion is frictional force, viscous drag


Is viscous force present in air?

yes, viscous force is present in air. it is proportional to the velocity and area of the body and acts in the opposite direction of velocity.


Which friction force is exerted by the fluids?

Viscous force. This is the frictional force between layers in relative motion

Yes


What is viscous flux?

Viscous flux usually refers to laminar flow. In most contexts, it refers to something like creeping flow or Poiseuille flow. Viscous flus usually arises from an external body force acting on a fluid. The external body force is usually pressure, or in some instances, centripetal force or magnetism.


What is the name of the frictional force between the surface and the air?

Viscous drag


What force in fluids oppeses motion?

Viscous force This is nothing but the frictional force between the adjacent layes of fluid in relative motion.
