Experiment No. 2 Viscosity of Liquids: 1000 KG/M 3 930 KG/M 3

The document describes an experiment to compare the viscosity of water and cooking oil. A marble was dropped into graduated cylinders of each liquid and the time taken to reach the bottom was recorded over three trials. The average time was longer for cooking oil, indicating it has a higher viscosity than water. A calculation was shown to determine the viscosity in pascal seconds of each liquid based on properties like density and velocity.

Viscosity of Liquids

Group no.: Date Submitted: October 15,2021

Section: ST12A4 Rating: _____

Objectives:
 To compare the viscosity of two (2) liquids
 To determine the viscosity of sample liquids
Materials: Clean, dry marble, a 25 mL graduated cylinder (alternative is any elongated material that can hold
liquid), timer (can use phone), water, and cooking oil
Procedure:
A.
1. Fill the graduated cylinder (any elongated that can hold the liquid) with water
2. Drop the marble into the water. Use a timer to record the time it takes for the marble to
reach the bottom.
3. Repeat step 2 two more times to make three trials. Record the marble’s travel time in each
trial.
4. Remove the marble and water from the cylinder and dry both of them.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 and use cooking oil.
8. Wash and dry the cylinder and the marble.
9. Calculate the average time it took the marble in moving from the top to the bottom of the
Liquids.

Time( in seconds)
water cooking oil
T1 0.20 seconds 0.23 seconds
T2 0.19 seconds 0.23 seconds
T3 0.19 seconds 0.20 seconds
Average time 0.19 seconds 0.22 seconds

B.
Complete the following table, determine and calculate the viscosity of each liquid.
L1- water L2 – cooking oil

T ave 0.19 seconds 0.22 seconds

density 1000 kg/m^3 930 kg/m^3

Calculated 0.51 pascal seconds 0.62 pascal seconds


Viscosity
Solutions:
Viscosity = (2 x (ball density – liquid density) x g x a^2) ÷ (9 x v), where g = acceleration due to gravity
= 9.8 m/s^2, a = radius of ball bearing, and v = velocity of ball bearing through liquid.

Water
(2 x (ball density – liquid density) x g x a^2) ÷ (9 x v)
(2 x ( 2.711 g/cc^3 – 1.00 g/cc^3 ) x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.6^2) ÷ (9 x 2.63) = 0.510047148 pascal
seconds

Oil
(2 x (ball density – liquid density) x g x a^2) ÷ (9 x v)
(2 x ( 2.711 g/cc^3 – 0.93 g/cc^3 ) x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.6^2) ÷ (9 x 2.27) = 0.615111894 pascal
seconds

Questions:

1. In which did the marble take the longest time to reach the bottom?

According to the results of my experiment, a marble dropped in a bottle of cooking oil took
the longest to reach the bottom, with an average time of 0.30 seconds.

2. How would you rank the liquids in the order of decreasing viscosity?

Cooking Oil, Water

3. What explanation can you give for the observed viscosities?

The higher the viscosity of a liquid, the thicker it is. A fluid with a high viscosity resists
motion because its molecular structure causes significant internal friction. A liquid with low
viscosity flows readily because its molecular structure causes very little friction when in
action.
