Determining the Kinematic Viscosity of Motor Oil at 60°C

The kinematic viscosity of a fluid can be determined if its dynamic viscosity and density are known. Kinematic viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow under the influence of gravity. It is expressed in units of m²/s and centistokes (cSt).
Given:
Dynamic viscosity of motor oil at 60°C: 4.5 × 10−3 Pa-s
Density of motor oil: 870 kg/m³
To determine the kinematic viscosity, we need to divide the dynamic viscosity by the density of the fluid.
