General knowledge
Science GK: honey, glycerine and engine oil are highly viscous; water has low viscosity; viscosity of liquids decreases when temperature increases (warm honey flows more easily).
विज्ञान GK में शहद, ग्लिसरीन और इंजन तेल अत्यधिक श्यान हैं; पानी की श्यानता कम है; तापमान बढ़ने पर द्रवों की श्यानता घटती है (गर्म शहद अधिक आसानी से बहता है)।
