Explanation / Answer
fluidity refers to the ability of any liquid to flow. It is the reciprocal of viscosity.
fluidity is a physical property.
fluidity increases with increase in temp and vice versa while it decreases with increase of pressure and vice versa.
fluidity is inversly proprtional to viscosity and if fluidity of any substance is known then we can determine quality of lubricants used in many instruments and industries. Also it can be helpful to determine how much controlled amout of any liquid we want to get i.e. for example in common life honey has less fluidity then milk so if we want same amount of both then we can determine the rate at which we can get both at equal amounts and same is applied in industries
