1.6 Kinematic Viscosity

Kinematic viscosity is defined as the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the density of the given fluid. It is denoted by the symbol v(nu).

v = μ/ρ

Video:
It should be noted that the video here also contains about the what is viscosity. I suggest you to watch about the viscosity, to refresh about the viscosity as kinematic viscosity is dependent on viscosity.
 

It's units in SI and MKS system are given by m2/s. In CGS system its units are given by cm2/s.
It should be noted that cm2/s is also called as stoke and 
stoke = 10-4 m2/s.

Note:
  1. 1Stoke = 100 Centistoke
