Honey or motor oil (they pour slow).Think of it as "internal friction." The more "rubbery" the molecules are against each other, the higher the viscosity. B. Pressure: The "Push" Factor
Fluids have weight. If you are at the bottom of the pool, you have the weight of all the water above you pressing down on your head. The deeper you go, the more weight is on top of you, and the higher the pressure. fluid mechanics for dummies
The main difference? Liquids are hard to compress (you can't squish water into a smaller ball), while gases are easy to compress (like pumping air into a tire). Honey or motor oil (they pour slow)
❌ ✅ Not necessarily — flow depends on pressure and velocity too. fluid mechanics for dummies
