Every fluid material has a basic physical property, called its viscosity, which is a measure of its resistance to flow. The “thicker” a fluid is, the higher is its viscosity, because of its greater resistance to flow. One might now assume that the question is simply a matter of assigning every fluid a characteristic viscosity [...]
