This is because viscous forces in a fluid are due to cohesive force and molecular momentum transfer.
On liquids, the cohesive forces predominates the molecular momentum transfer, due to closely
peaked molecules and with the increase in temperature, the cohesive force decreases with result
of decreasing viscosity. But in cases of gases the cohesive forces are small and molecular momentum
transfer predominates with the increase in temperature, molecular momentum transfer increases
and hence viscosity increases.

In case of multi-stage pumps, since the same liquid flows through each impeller, the discharge of
a multi-stage pump is same as the discharge passing through each impeller of the series.

• A tubular compass is an improved version of a trough compass. A trough compass does not
lend itself to very precise setting owing to parallax arising from the difficulty of ensuring that
the eye is in the vertical plane of the needle. This difficulty is overcome by using a tubular
compass.
• When trough compass is used in conjugation with a plane table, the sides of the box are used as
a ruler to plot the north direction. When fitted on a theodolite, it is used to align the telescope
in the meridian.

IS 1892 : 1979 recommends that the inside clearance should be from 1 - 3%. The outside clearance
should not be much greater than the inside clearance. Its value usually lies between 0 and 2
percent.
Inside clearance is meant to reduce friction between the soil sample and the sampler when the
soil enters the tube, by allowing for elastic expansion. If the inside clearance is too large, there
will be too much of lateral expansion. Outside clearance will help reduce friction while the sampler
is being driven and when it is being withdrawn after the soil sample has been collected.
149. (c)
The total torque transmitted depends on diameter and also on elastic properties.
