The uneven force acting on the surface of a liquid are called viscosity true or false?

Viscosity is the internal resistance of fluid to flow. Water has a thin viscosity (low resistance = flows easily) while oil has a thick viscosity (high viscosity = does not flow as easily). The term viscosity is usually used about the internal forces of the liquid itself.While not clear from the question, the force acting on the surface of a liquid is probably surface tension being thought of, but could also be gravity, depending on the context.I would say the answer to your question is: false.


Is parison's viscosity low or high?

The viscosity is high because the parison needs to hold its shape.


Does liquid honey have a high viscosity?

Yes, but keep in mind there are many type of honey, and many ways of processing the honey. I will assume we are talking about natural honey, Liquid and unpasteurized... this is still a wide range of honeys as the properties of the honey are different by location and what flowers the nectar was gathered from. (not to mention the species of bees). so in short i'd say: yes honey has a high viscosity at room temperature. afterthought: "high viscosity" is a very broad term as well...

When you describe liquid as thick are you saying that it has a high or low viscosity?

A thick liquid would have a high viscosity :)Thick liquids have a high viscosity. Example "What is the viscous liquid you are drinking?" is the same as "what is that thick liquid you are drinking?"


When you say that a liquid has a high viscosity you mean that it?

lows slowly like honey


How do liquids with high viscosity differ from liquids with a low viscosity?

Viscosity is a property of liquids, showing that liquid's resistance to flow. A liquid with a high viscosity would mean it flowed slowly. A liquid with a low viscosity would mean it flows rather quickly.
