Viscous Force in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

Viscous Force per unit Area is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscous forces in a fluid are proportional to the rate at which the fluid velocity is changing in space. And is denoted by Fviscous. Viscous Force is usually measured using the Pascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Viscous Force is always negative.
