Using a ball bearing to find the viscosity of honey Plan The aim of this experiment is to determine the viscosity of honey using a ball bearing. Prediction I predict that the viscosity for honey, for every reading I get, from every ball bearing regardless of size or weight will be the same. Background The honey acts as a resistance force on the ball bearing. In other wards it is when the upthrust and the viscous drag act against the weight of the ball due to gravity. The viscosity of the honey will determine how fast the ball will travel down towards the bottom of the measuring cylinder due to gravity acting on the mass of the ball. You can find the viscosity using the following equation: Although it is possible to establish the valve for viscosity from one reading, I will improve my accuracy by taking readings for a range of lengths for...
