    10 poise = 1N-S/m²=1Kg/m-s
    .5 poise =.05 kg/m-s
    Kinematic viscosity=dynamic viscosity/density of the substance
    Specific gravity=density of substance/density of some standard substance
    Density of water 1000kg/m³
    .5=density/1000
    Density=500kg/m³
    Kinematic viscosity=0.05/500=1
