2 The Reynolds number, \(R\), is an important dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics; it can be used to predict flow patterns when a fluid is in motion relative to a surface.
The Reynolds number is defined as \(\quad R = \frac { \rho u l } { \mu }\),
where \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid, \(u\) is the velocity of the fluid relative to the surface, \(l\) is the distance travelled by the fluid and \(\mu\) is the viscosity of the fluid. Find the dimensions of \(\mu\).
