Christine Brandt · Answer 1

b). the kinematic viscosity is absolute viscosity divided by mass density

Explanation:

Viscosity is a fluid property that offers resistance or obstruction to deformation or fluid flow.

Viscosity is of two types--

1. Absolute viscosity, μ

2. Kinematic viscosity, ν

Absolute viscosity:

Absolute viscosity is also called the dynamic viscosity. It is the internal resistance of the fluid to flow.

Kinematic viscosity:

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