Question 76Easy
Which of the following is the unit of kinematic viscosity:
Full explanation

Answer: C. Stoke

Stoke (cm²/s) is the CGS unit of kinematic viscosity (1 stoke = 10⁻⁴ m²/s).

Question 77Easy
An ideal fluid:
Full explanation

Answer: B. is both incompressible and non-viscous

An ideal fluid is theoretical and defined as having both zero viscosity (frictionless) and zero compressibility (constant density).

Question 78Easy
Which of the following meters is not associated with viscosity:
Full explanation

Answer: D. Orsat

Redwood, Saybolt, and Engler are commercial viscometers; the Orsat apparatus is used for flue gas chemical analysis.

Question 79Easy
An ideal fluid is:
Full explanation

Answer: B. Frictionless and incompressible

An ideal fluid is defined as frictionless (non-viscous) and incompressible.

Question 80Easy
Newton's law of viscosity relates to:
Full explanation

Answer: B. viscosity and rate of angular deformation

Newton's law links shear stress, viscosity, and rate of angular deformation: τ = μ(dθ/dt) = μ(du/dy). Answer (b) matches the official book key.
