Answer to Question #229976 in Physics for CCCC

Question

Determine the specific gravity of a fluid having viscosity of 0.0a poise and kinematic viscosity of 0.0da stokes

Answer 1

The density of a liquid can be expressed in terms of kinematic viscosity and viscosity:

$$\rho_L=\frac{\mu_L}{\nu_L}.$$

Specific gravity is the ratio of density of a liquid to the density of water:

$$s=\frac{\rho_L}{\rho_W}.$$

So:

$$s=\frac{\mu_L}{\rho_W\nu_L}=\frac{0.01·10}{1000·0.01·10}=0.001.$$
