For ideal fluid, viscosity:
AHigh
BZERO (definition of ideal fluid; no friction between layers)
CEqual to water
DVariable
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. ZERO (definition of ideal fluid; no friction between layers)
Ideal fluid: η = 0 (inviscid), incompressible, irrotational, steady. Bernoulli applies exactly. Real fluids have non-zero η, hence drag forces and energy losses.
