Question

Which of the fluids shown in the diagram will have less frictional force?

  1. Vegetable oil
  2. Corn syrup
  3. Honey
  4. Water

hintHint:

Strong inter-molecular forces provide a lot of internal friction in a fluid with a high viscosity, which makes it difficult for layers to move past one another.
A fluid with low viscosity, flows smoothly because its molecular structure causes less friction when it is in motion.

The correct answer is: Water


    The fluids shown in the diagram that will have less frictional force is water.
    • The liquid frictional force depends on the nature and thickness of the liquid.
    • A more viscous liquid has a high frictional force and a less viscous liquid gives less resistance or frictional force.
    • Since water is thin and very less viscous fluid that provides less liquid friction.
