Viscosity of water in comparison to mercury is
A. Higher
B. Lower
C. Same
D. Higher/lower depending on temperature
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Viscosity of water in comparison to mercury is Lower.Viscosity: It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction.
Mercury dynamic viscosity at temperature 300K is 1.53
Water dynamic viscosity at temperature 300K is 0.89

Totally wrong information,
For same shear stress the velocity gradient of water is higher than velocity gradient of mercury .
Also, viscosity is inversely proportional to velocity gradient.
So, we can say that viscosity of water is lower than viscosity of mercury.
Answer is updated. Thanks to all of you reporting issue.
