payse
A condition of hovering, or being suspended
A cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one dyne-second per square centimeter
To balance or to hover
Weight; an amount of weight, the amount something weighs

as an huge rockie clift, / Whose false foundation waues haue washt away, / With dreadfull poyse is from the mayneland rift, / So downe he fell .

equilibrium
The unit of viscosity in the cgs system equal to 1 dyne second per square centimeter
A state of balance, equilibrium or stability
To draw up into readiness
A measure of viscosity numerically equal to the force required to move a plane surface of one square centimeter per second when the surfaces are separated by a layer of fluid one centimeter in thickness It is the ratio of the shearing stress to the shear rate of a fluid and is expressed in dyne seconds per square centimeter (DYNE SEC/CM2); 1 centipoise equals 01 poise
Poise is a graceful, very controlled way of standing and moving. Ballet classes are important for poise and grace. A centimeter-gram-second unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one dyne-second per square centimeter. to put or hold something in a carefully balanced position, especially above something else poise sth over/above sth
a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity equal to one dyne-second per square centimeter; the viscosity of a fluid in which a force of one dyne per square centimeter maintains a velocity of 1 centimeter per second
The unit of measurement for viscosity

hold or carry in equilibrium
{f} balance; stabilize; hang, suspend
a state of being balanced in a stable equilibrium
The weight, or mass of metal, used in weighing, to balance the substance weighed
Position of the body in relation to the feet
prepare (oneself) for something unpleasant or difficult
CGS unit of absolute viscosity: shear stress (in dynes per square centimeter) required to move one layer of fluid along another over a total layer thickness of one centimeter at a shear rate of one centimeter per second Dimensions are dyne-sec/cm2 The CENTIPOISE (cP) is 1/100 of a poise and is the unit of absolute viscosity most commonly used Whereas ordinary viscosity measurements depend on the force of gravity on the fluid to supply the shear stress and are thus subject to distortion by differences in fluid density, ABSOLUTE VISCOSITY measurements are independent of density and are directly related to resistance to flow (See also VISCOSITY )
To hang in equilibrium; to be balanced or suspended; hence, to be in suspense or doubt
Composure; freedom from embarrassment or affectation
If someone has poise, they are calm, dignified, and self-controlled. It took a moment for Mark to recover his poise
mien; bearing or deportment of the head or body
That which causes a balance; a counterweight
A cgs absolute unit of viscosity that is equal to one dyne-second per square centimeter
To balance; to make of equal weight; as, to poise the scales of a balance
The state of being balanced by equal weight or power; equipoise; balance; equilibrium; rest
cause to be balanced or suspended
Watchmakers say that a balance is "in poise" when the balance is in neutral equilibrium, as verified on the poising tool for example Its significance is that the center of gravity lies on the axis of rotation
{i} stability; balance, equilibrium; composure, confidence; reasoning, discretion; erectness, uprightness
To hold or place in equilibrium or equiponderance
great coolness and composure under strain; "keep your cool"
Weight; gravity; that which causes a body to descend; heaviness
To counterpoise; to counterbalance
To ascertain, as by the balance; to weigh
To weigh (down); to oppress
The CGS unit of dynamic viscosity The unit is expressed in dyne second per square centimeter The centipoise (cP) is more commonly used The formal definition of viscosity arises from the concept put forward by Newton that under conditions of parallel flow, the shearing stress is proportional to the velocity gradient If the force acting on each of two planes of area A parallel to each other, moving parallel to each other with a relative velocity V, and separated by a perpendicular distance X, be denoted by F, the shearing stress is F/A and the velocity gradient, which will be linear for a true liquid, is V/X Thus, F/A = nV/X, where the constant n is the viscosity coefficient or dynamic viscosity of the liquid
be motionless, in suspension; "The bird poised for a few moments before it attacked"
