Viscosity is the one of the major parameters to be considered in fluid related experiments and also in many industries. A new method of calculation of Dynamic Viscosity using the Viscometer which is easy for experimentation, with less calculation efforts, simple in design, construction with min. investment and no or minimum maintenance. This Paper intends to find the viscosity of Opaque fluids using falling ball viscometer. Falling Ball Viscometer works with Strokes law as the correction factor is multiplied in the calculation. As the correction factor is derived from the outcomes from the experiment and C-Code was written to make the calculation more efficient.
