Dynamic Viscosity in Displacement and Drag Formulas

The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the property of a fluid that quantifies its internal resistance to flow when subjected to an external force or shear stress. And is denoted by μ_viscosity. Dynamic Viscosity is usually measured using the Poise for Dynamic Viscosity. Note that the value of Dynamic Viscosity is always positive.
