Poiseuille law for resistance
Description
As fluid flows through tubes there is resistance, between the fluid and the wall that opposes the flow. The resistance to laminar flow of an incompressible fluid, through a horizontal tube of uniform radius and length is related to the viscosity of the fluid the length and the radius of the tube
