Dimension of absolute viscosity is_________________?

Correct answer: A. ML-1T-1

  • A. ML-1T-1
  • B. MLT-1
  • C. ML-1T
  • D. MLT

Explanation

Dynamic viscosity follows τ = μ(du/dy), so its dimensions are stress divided by rate of strain: (ML⁻¹T⁻²)/T⁻¹ = ML⁻¹T⁻¹. This distinguishes it from kinematic viscosity, whose dimensions are L²T⁻¹.
