Experiment no.1
Viscosity

Objective: the internal friction of a liquid or its

ability to resist flow
Introduction: Theory Viscosity is a fluid
property that can be interpreted as the
‘thickness of a fluid. This property describes
the level of resistance to the sliding motion of
one layer of the fluid to anotherone. Viscosity
is very important in many aspects. More
specifically, lubricants have different
viscosities to satisfy the needs of different
machinery for which they are used, and
without the correct viscosity, the machines will
not be able to operate properly. A fluid’s
dynamic viscosity is the resistance to an
externally applied shear stress. Viscosity
resists the fluid to change form. Because of
this, if a solid object is dropped into a fluid of
lesser density, the object will fall through the

:Equipment
ball:1
tube:2

micrometer;3

ruler:4
stop watch:5

different liquids (engine oil ,olive oil):6

:Procedure
measuring the diameter of ball and :1
graduated cylinder
measuring the graduated cylinder(empty) :2
then then the volume
fill it with oil then measuring it again to :3
obtain the mass of oil and to find its density
and finding the volume by falling the ball into
the oil from a distance
measuring the spheres mass to obtain the :4
mass for the density of the sphere
Taking the time by stop watch:5
then by applying the viscosity rule which is :6
m=(2r^2(psphere-pfluid)g)/9*v
Results: the viscosity was 3.52 poise for the
first oil and the oil was not to much thick but
the second oil was thicker so it turned to be
5.65 poise

: Discussion
liquids decreases rapidly with an :1
increase in temperature
when the temperature is increased, its   :2
,density decreases
Terminal velocity will be directly proportional :3
to the mass and gravity, and inversely
.proportional to the radius
if the density of ball is high then so will :4
viscosity increase
