Physics Question on mechanical properties of fluid

Coefficient of viscosity of a gas

A

increases with increase of temperature

B

decreases with increase of temperature

C

remains constant with increase of temperature

D

may increase or decrease with increase of temperature.

Answer

increases with increase of temperature

Explanation

Solution

With increase in temperature, the molecule of gas carry more momentum and collide more often, that means more viscosity. So, coefficient of viscosity of a gas increases with increase of temperature.
