Viscosit is the propert to !easure the resistance of the flui"s na!el liqui"s an" gases.
#n"erstan"ing the effect of te!perature on the $iscosit of the flui" is $er i!portant. %n
engines the lu&ricating oil is heate" to $er high te!peratures an" it is $ital to know whether
the lu&ricating oil' will &e $iscous enough to lu&ricate the !o$ing parts of the engine at those
high te!peratures.
The following "ata shows the relationship &etween the $iscosit of SA( )* oil an"
te!perature. After taking the logarith! for these "ata' fit a first or"er linear regression !o"el
to represent $iscosit as a function of te!perature an" esti!ate coefficient of "eter!ination.
