Question: One type of capillary-tube viscometer is shown in Fig.?PI.41. For this device the liquid to be tested is drawn into the tube to a level

One type of capillary-tube viscometer is shown in Fig.?PI.41. For this device the liquid to be tested is drawn into the tube to a level above the top etched line. The time is then obtained for the liquid to drain to the bottom etched line. The kinetic viscosity, v, in m2/s is then obtained from the equation v = KR4t where K Is a constant, R is the radius of the capillary tube in mm, and t is the drain time in seconds. When glycerin at 20?C is used as a calibration fluid in a particular viscometer the drain time is 1,430 s. when a liquid having a density of 970 kg/m3?is tested in the same viscometer the drain time is 900 s. what is the dynamic viscosity of this liquid?
