Problem

A liquid flows through a capillary viscometer in 45 s at 25 °C. Under the same conditions, water requires 15 s. If the viscosity of water at 25 °C is 0.89 cP and the densities of the two liquids are nearly identical, what is the approximate viscosity of the unknown liquid? (a) 0.30 cP0.30\ \text{cP} (b) 2.7 cP2.7\ \text{cP} (c) 3.0 cP3.0\ \text{cP} (d) 1.8 cP1.8\ \text{cP}
