If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey's viscosity is large compared to other liquids' viscosities. If I fill the same cup with water, for ...
For example, a common oil rating is 15W-40, with 15 representing the oil's dynamic viscosity (with the W as a reminder of the cold value) and 30 representing the oil's kinematic viscosity.
