Assertion : Specific gravity of a fluid ...

Assertion : Specific gravity of a fluid is a dimensionless quantity.
Reason : It is the ratio of ratio of fluid to the density of water

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Specific gravity is former name of relative density and relative density is the density of a substance divided by the density of water.
`therefore` specific gravity = relative density
`("density of substance")/("density of water")=` dimensionless.

The word fluid means a substance having particles which readily of its magnitude (a small shear stress, which may appear to be of negligible will cause deformation in the fluid). Fluids are charactrised by such properties as density. Specific weight, specific gravity, viscosity etc. Density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume and it is denoted by. The specific gravity represents a numerical ratio of two densities, and water is commonly taken as a reference substance. Specific gravity of a substance in written as the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. Specific weight represents the force exerted by gravity on a unit volume of fluid. It is related to the density as the product of density of a fluid and acceleration due to gravity. Viscosity is the most important and is recognized as the only single property which influences the fluid motion to a great extent. The viscosity is the property by virtue of which a fluid offers resistance to deformation under the influenece if shear force. The force between the layers opposing relative motion between them are known as forces of viscosity. When a boat moves slowly on the river remains at rest. Velocities of different layers are different. Let v be the velocity of the level at a distance y from the bed and V+dv be the velocity at a distance y+dy . The velocity differs by dv in going through a distance by perpendicular to it. The quantity (dv)/(dy) is called velocity gradient.

If is denoted as v . The viscosity of a fluid depends upon its intermolecular structure. In gases, the molecules are widely spaced resulting in a negligible intermolecular cohesion, while in liquids the molecules being very close to each other, the cohesion is much larger with the increases of temperature, the cohesive force decreases rapidly resulting in the decreases of viscosity. In case of gases, the viscosity is mainly due to transfer of molecular momentum in the transerve direction brought about by the molecular agitation. Molecular agitation increases with rise in temperature. Thus we conclude that viscosity of a fluid may thus be considered to be composed of two parts, first due to intermolecuar cohesion and second due to transfer of molecular momentum.
