Question 1.
What is shear stress?
Show hintHide hint
Think of how forces apply in layers.
Question 2.
Define viscosity.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how thick a fluid is.
3Question 3.
What is shear strain rate defined as?
- The change in volume over time
- The rate of change in shear
- The resistance to flow
Show hintHide hint
Think about how strain occurs due to applied forces.
4Question 4.
True or False: Shear stress is independent of temperature changes in fluids.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on how heating affects fluid flow.
Question 5.
A fluid has a viscosity of 0.8 Pa·s and a velocity gradient of 500 s^-1. Calculate the shear stress acting on the fluid.
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula: shear stress = viscosity * velocity gradient.
Question 6.
Discuss how increasing temperature affects viscosity in both liquids and gases, providing examples.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the molecular motion in both cases.
