Why does the Physics 2 Book list viscosities of fluids in kg/m^3 in the charts on page 66? That doesn't make any sense. Those units are densities and density=/= viscosity.

The numbers in said chart match the numbers on Wikipedia for kg/(m*sec), so I am guessing it is just another error in the book, but I wanted to see if anyone here could have some sort of explanation for the units since TBR uses kg/m^3 in two charts which makes it being a simple typo less likely.
