Question 1.
What is shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Think about forces acting in a fluid.
Question 2.
Define viscosity in simple terms.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how easily a fluid flows.
3Question 3.
What is shear stress?
- Pressure applied per unit area
- Force per unit area causing deformation
- Friction experienced by fluids
Show hintHide hint
Consider how forces affect fluid movements.
4Question 4.
True or False: An increase in temperature always decreases the viscosity of gases.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how molecules behave at different temperatures.
Question 5.
What is the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid with density 1,000 kg/m^3 flowing at a velocity of 2 m/s? Discuss how viscosity would factor into energy loss during flow.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how energy is lost to friction in a flowing fluid.
Question 6.
Design an experiment to measure the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid like ketchup. What factors would you need to consider?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the fluid behaves under different conditions.
