Thesintermolecular interactions hinder the fluid's shearing movement, and the strength of these forces is related to the fluid's viscosity. Internal friction increases when the force of attraction between the molecules in the liquid becomes stronger. As a result, the viscosity of a fluid is named after the property of friction. It's usually measured in centipoise (cP), which is equal to 1 metre of pressure (millipascal second).
