What does 1 Gram/centimeter/second represent in dynamic viscosity?

It is the cgs unit of dynamic (shear) viscosity measuring a fluid’s resistance to shear, equal to one poise or 0.1 pascal-second in SI units.

Why use femtopoise for viscosity measurements?

Femtopoise measures extremely small viscosity values, useful in molecular-scale research, nanoscale simulations, or precision calibration.

Is femtopoise suitable for typical fluid viscosity measurements?

No, due to its extremely small scale, femtopoise is not practical for regular fluid viscosity measurements and is reserved for highly specialized applications.
