Viscosity measurements are used in the food industry to maximize production efficiency and cost effectiveness. It affects the rate at which a product travels through a pipe, how long it takes to set or dry, and the time it takes to dispense the fluid into packaging.
0.032 Ms = 3.2 × 10^4 s
<em>Step 1</em>. Convert the number to scientific notation.
0.032 = 3.2 × 10^(-2)
<em>Step 2</em>. Convert the measurement to base units.
3.2 × 10^(-2) Ms × (10^6 s/1 Ms) = 3.2 × 10^4 s
