Yes the 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.

Viscosity of water is lower than of mercury.

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.

Dynamic viscosity of mercury is more than dynamic viscosity of water but kinematic viscosity is less because of mercury is denser than the water.

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.

The Viscosity of water is .89 centipoise while that of mercury is 1.53 centipoise.

Dynamic viscosity of mercury is more than water, but for kinematic viscosity, density of mercury is much more higher than water so kinematic viscosity of mercury is lower than water.
