What is Frictional Resistance ?

Frictional resistance refers to the force that opposes the motion of a fluid or an object as it moves through a medium or along a surface. In the context of fluid dynamics, frictional resistance occurs when a fluid (like water, air, or oil) flows through a pipe, conduit, or any channel, and its interaction with the surface of the material creates resistance, resulting in energy loss.
