Units & Dimensions

Which one of the following represents the correct dimensions of the coefficient of viscosity?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Viscous force F=ηAdvdxF = \eta A\frac{dv}{dx}, so η=FA (dv/dx)\eta = \frac{F}{A\,(dv/dx)}.
  2. [η]=MLT−2L2⋅T−1=ML−1T−1[\eta] = \frac{\mathrm{MLT^{-2}}}{\mathrm{L^2}\cdot\mathrm{T^{-1}}} = \mathrm{ML^{-1}T^{-1}}
  3. So the answer is (a).
