6. The viscosity of a liquid can be calculated using equation: = Bt, where B is calibration
constant of the viscometer, is the density of the liquid and t is time of flow through the
viscometer. In one experiment, water was used to calibrate the viscometer at 25.0C, and the
time of flow was measured as 200.30.2 s. At 25.0C, the density and viscosity of water are
0.99708 gmL−1
and 8.909 10−3
gcm−1
s
−1
, respectively. Using the same viscometer, the
time of flow was 425.60.5 s at 25.0C for an unknown liquid with density 0.85667 gmL−1
.
Determine constant B and the viscosity of the unknown liquid with error analysis.
