How are viscosity and flow rate similar

Answer:

Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow and flow rate is the volume of fluid that passes by a point in a certain amount of time. Viscosity and flow rate are similar because they are inversely proportional; high viscosity means a decreased flow rate and vice versa.

Answer: Flow rate is inversely proportional to viscosity.

Explanation: The relation is called Poiseuille's law, which describes the smooth flow of a fluid along a tube.
