Question

Which of the following factors affect the fluid friction?

• A. Speed of the object
• B. Nature of the fluid
• C. Shape of the object
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Fluid friction increases with the speed of the moving object through the fluid.

The friction offered by a fluid is dependent upon its nature. Stirring honey, chocolate syrup and water needs varying amount of force.

Friction also depends on the shape of the object moving through fluid. Aeroplanes, submarines, racing cars, bullet trains etc. are designed to have a streamlined structure so that they experience minimum drag from the fluid through which they are travelling.
