What is unit of Viscosity ?

  • A.Coulomb
  • B.Newton second per square metre
  • C.Watt per metre per degree Celsius
  • D.Joule per kilogram per kelvin

Answer: B

Viscosity is measured in newton second per square metre.

From Newton's law of viscous flow, \[F = \eta A \frac{dv}{dx} \Rightarrow \eta = \frac{F}{A\,(dv/dx)}\] which gives \(\mathrm{N\,s\,m^{-2}}\), also written as the pascal second. The CGS unit is the poise, and \(1\ \mathrm{Pa\,s} = 10\ \mathrm{poise}\).
