Viscosity of mercury is lesser than of water, because shear stress developed in water is more than mercury, this is taken from the relation viscosity is directly proportional to the shear stress and inversely proportional to velocity gradient.

Viscosity is the resist to flow. Thats why, Mercury has more viscous than the water. So, viscosity of water is less than that of mercury.

Ap.gr.pf water is 1 and sp.gr.of mercury is 13.6 and viscous force depend sp.gr. that's way viscosity of water is less than that of mercury.

Yes the viscosity of water is less than that of mercury.

Viscosity is due to cohesive force, in case of water cohesive force is less than mercury, hence viscosity of water is less than the mercury.

Water is Viscosity are less than the mercury because mercury cohesion partial are more.

Hi.
Viscosity of Mercury is 1.526 cP.
Viscosity of water is 0.894 cP.
Viscosity of Mercury is 1.526 cP.
Viscosity of water is 0.894 cP.

Viscosity of water is more than mercury. Surface tension of water is less than mercury.
