What does “Viscosity” actually mean in Mechanical Properties of Fluids, and why does it matter for JEE?

the internal friction of a fluid that opposes relative motion between its layers.

In simple words: the internal friction of a fluid that opposes relative motion between its layers. Getting Viscosity clear matters because JEE questions on Mechanical Properties of Fluids usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.

Key point

Viscosity

Common mistake

assuming all fluids flow equally easily.

Memory tip

honey is more viscous than water — it resists flow more.
