viscosity of Mercury is lesser than of water,because shear stress developed in water is more than mercury, this is taken from the relation viscosity is directly proportional to the shear stress and inversely proportional to velocity gradient.from fluid mechanics.

Whose viscosity is more honey or water?
Honey has a higher viscosity than water.

Is water more viscous than honey?
the intermolecular attractionsis account for this behaivour of honey.
Is acetone thicker than water?
No, acetone is about the same viscosity as water.
What happens when the mercury in barometer or manometer is replaced by water or any other less dense liquid than water?
Since water is lighter than mercury, this means the height will differ. The denser (high relative density) the fluid, the shorter the height. If the fuild is light such as water its height will be much higher than that of mercury. Also, the denser the material is the higher the pressure.
Do hotter liquids have more or less viscosity than colder liquids?
Cold water has higher viscosity than Hot water, take note that, as the temperature of fluid increases, viscosity decreases.
What is the viscosity of a dilute dispersion of silica particles in water?
Dilute? Less than .1% I would guess viscosity of Water
Is cooking oil heavier than mercury?
NO. Olive oil is more viscous than Mercury (meaning it has greater resistance, is stickier, pours "thicker"). Viscosity and density are not the same. Mercury is dense (13.534 g/mL), but is not viscous (1.526 cP). Olive oil has a much higher viscosity than Mercury (81 cP), but a much lower density (~0.92 g/mL).
Whose density is less 5kg of water or 5kg of mercury?
Water's density is always less than that of mercury regardless of mass.
What liquid or liquids are not soluble in oil and have a low viscosity other than water?
Mercury and brake fluid come to mind.
Why is oil less dense than water but has higher viscosity?

Viscosity less than honey?
If something has a greater viscosity, it becomes more 'runny' compared to its original state when heated up. The greater the change from thick to runny = the greater the viscosity. So honey has a greater viscosity than water for example.
Water has a lower what than honey?
Viscosity. :)
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
The density of mercury is much greater than that of water, so the nail will not sink. The density of the nail is less than that of mercury and greater than that for water, so it sinks in the water.
Why iron nail floats on mercury but sinks on water.?
Iron has a higher density than water, so it sinks in water; but is less dense than mercury so it floats.
Whose viscosity is more honey or water?
Honey has a higher viscosity than water.
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Density of our Moon: 3.346 (g/cm3). Density of planet Mercury: 5.427 (g/cm3). So, yes, it is less dense.
