Dynamic (absolute) viscosity is the tangential force at each unit area required to move one horizontal plane in relation to another plane - by unit velocity - while maintaining unit distance outside the fluid.

Kinematic Viscosity
Kinematic viscosity is a measure of the total viscosity - (or intensity) of a quantity - the amount of non-energy. Kinematic viscosity can be obtained by dividing the total viscosity of the liquid by the amount of fluid mass
ν = μ / ρ .................. (2)
Where
ν = kinematic viscosity (m2 / s)
μ = full or strong viscosity (N s / m2)
ρ = density (kg / m3)
In the SI-system the unit of kinematic viscosity theory is m2 / s - or the most commonly used Stoke (St) where
Stoke comes from the CGS unit program (Centimeter Gram Second Second).
As the Stoke unit is usually divided by 100 into smaller units centi Stoke (c St) - there
The gravitational force of 20.2oC (68.4oF) is almost the same, and the kinematic viscosity of 20.2oC (68.4oF) water is designed to operate 1.0 mm2 / s (c Stokes). The most precise water viscosity at 20.2oC (68.4oF) is 1.0038 mm2 / s (c St).

Q10) Explain bulk modulus of elasticity and compressibility?
A10)An elastic modulus (also known as a modulus of elasticity) is a value that measures an object or object to the object of a highly deformed object (i.e., non-permanent) in which pressure is applied. The expandable modulus of the material is defined as the slope of the pressure point in the region of the elastic deformation: Solid material will have a very high modulus. The elastic modulus has the following form:
Delta = stress / strain
where the pressure is the force that causes the change to be divided by the area in which the force and gravity are used is the rate of change of a particular parameter caused by the distortion in the actual parameter value. Since the difficulty is flawless, the delta will be the same as the units of pressure.
