The unit of viscosity in the CGS system ...

The unit of viscosity in the CGS system is poise (P) and that in SI is poiseuille (Pl). Which of the following statement is correct ?

A

1 P = 1 Pl

B

1 P= 10 Pl

C

10 P = 1Pl

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We have `1P=1 "gm cm"^(-1)s^(-1)`
`therefore 1Pl=10"gcm"^(-1)s^(-1)=10P`
