Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To answer the question of why lubricant oils should have high viscosity, we can break down the explanation into several key points: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Purpose of Lubricant Oils**: - The primary function of lubricant oils is to reduce friction between the moving parts of machinery. This reduction in friction is crucial for the efficient operation of machines as it minimizes wear and tear on the components. 2. **Reduction of Power Consumption**: ...
