Viscous Force in Fluid Mechanics Formulas

The Viscous Force is the force between a body and a fluid (liquid or gas) moving past it, in a direction so as to oppose the flow of the fluid past the object. And is denoted by μ. Viscous Force is usually measured using the Newton for Force. Note that the value of Viscous Force is always negative.
