Think about how syrup flows versus water.
True or False: Fluids can resist shear forces.
Consider what happens when you push a solid compared to a liquid.
A fluid element in an xy-plane rotates while also translating. Describe mathematically how you would calculate the angles of rotation and derive the strain rates.
Draw the fluid element and visualize movements during small time intervals.
Given a fluid with a viscosity of 1.2 Pas, evaluate how it affects the flow in a pipe compared to water with a viscosity of 0.001 Pas. Describe the practical impact.
Remember how fast different fluids flow in common scenarios, such as syrup versus water.
