Viscosity provides a resistance to a fluid being squirted out, say, between a crankshaft and a bearing journal under pressure. So measuring viscosity will be important for predicting how much protection a given fluid will provide.

A fluid resistance to flow is called?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Apparent Viscosity of a drilling fluid?
Both are same
What is viscosity in mechanical engineering?
Viscosity is the resistance offered against shear force by a fluid.
1 What important property of fluids necessitated the development of fluid mechanics as an area of science separate from standard mechanics?
Fluid's lack of rigidity contributed to scientist's creation of the area of fluid mechanics.
What is the relation between Hooke's Law of Elasticity vs Newton's Law of Viscosity?
These two laws they are similar. But Hooke's Law is a law which is used in Solid Mechanics, and Newton's Law of Viscosity is the one which is used in Fluid Dynamics.
Viscosity is a property of a fluid to do what?
Resist flow?
What is Viscocity?
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. A fluid with high viscosity flows slowly, while a fluid with low viscosity flows quickly. It is an important property in various industries, such as in the design of lubricants and in the study of fluid dynamics.
What is viscostity?
viscosity is the property of a fluid that resists the force tending to cause the fluid to flow.
A property of flowing very quickly in a liquid?
The property would be fluid or fluidity.
How you can find viscosity from density?
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.
What is a physical property that describes how quickly or slow a fluid flows?
viscosity
What is viscocity Define viscosity briefly?
One of the official definitions for the word viscosity is "the property of resistance to flow in a fluid or semifluid."
if a substance pours very slowly it has a high what?
The characteristic is called viscosity. Viscosity is the quality that describes a fluid's resistance to flow.(It is what is more commonly called the thickness of a fluid.)
The property of following very quickly in a liquid?
Fluid or Fluidity
Do fluids exert friction?
Certain fluids, especially liquids, do exert internal friction. This property of the fluid is called viscosity. Rheology is known as the study of viscosity.
What is the name of the thickness property of a fluid that creates boundary layers and shear stress?
The above description relates to viscosity.
What is the viscosity definitions?
Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.
