Dynamic Viscosity Formula for a fluid defines its internal resistance to flow due to some shearing force. A tangential force which acts when one horizontal plane moves with another one. The viscosity acts an important fluid property while analyzing the liquid behaviour and fluid motion near solid boundaries.
The formula for Dynamic Viscosity
\begin{array}{l}\eta =\frac{\tau }{\gamma }\end{array}
Where,
\begin{array}{l}\eta\end{array}
is the dynamic viscosity
\begin{array}{l}\tau\end{array}
is the Shearing stress
\begin{array}{l}\gamma\end{array}
is the Shear rate
The SI unit for Dynamic Viscosity =
