Kinematic viscosity: definition check for fluids Select the correct definition of kinematic viscosity (ν) in terms of absolute (dynamic) viscosity (μ) and density (ρ). Choose the correct relationship.

Q: Kinematic viscosity: definition check for fluids Select the correct definition of kinematic viscosity (ν) in terms of absolute (dynamic) viscosity (μ) and density (ρ). Choose the correct relationship.

Concept/Approach Kinematic viscosity is defined as ν = μ / ρ where μ is dynamic viscosity and ρ is density. Units: m²/s. Final Answer ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the liquid

Difficulty: Easy

ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the liquid
ratio of density of the liquid to the absolute viscosity
product of absolute viscosity and density of the liquid
product of absolute viscosity and mass of the liquid

Correct Answer: ratio of absolute viscosity to the density of the liquid

Explanation:

Concept/Approach
Kinematic viscosity is defined as ν = μ / ρ where μ is dynamic viscosity and ρ is density. Units: m²/s.
