Question

hat are the factors affecting friction on an object in a fluid?

Answer 1

Answer :

.
The factors affecting friction in fluids are:

• Shape of the object : If the object is streamlined then it can move easily (Friction will be minimum).
• Density of the fluid : Denser medium will exert greater frictional force.
• Speed of the object : Drag force will be more for faster objects.

And, The other Factors that determine the amount of fluid friction on a solid object include the viscosity of the fluid, the surface texture of the solid object and the shape of the object.
