Identify the materials that exhibit the characteristics of both solid and fluid under different condition.
Explanation of Solution
Wax, Tar and Jello have the characteristics of solid at room temperature and below at ordinary pressure. However, they exhibit fluid characteristics at high pressure over long periods. They liquefy and exist as viscous fluids at high temperature.
Silly putty and modelling clay exhibit fluid behavior when they are slowly sheared. But sudden application of stress leads to fracture, which is a characteristic of a solid.
Shaving cream and toothpaste behaves like a solid when at rest in the tube. But when they are squeezed, they flow out of the tube like a fluid.
Similarly, sand behaves as solid when at rest and flows down when placed on an incline.

- The torque T necessary to rotate a disc of radius R a distance h from a flat plate depends on the rotational speed w and the fluid viscosity mu. Relate T to the appropriate variables to include fluid density (rho).arrow_forwardUse the coefficient of volume expansion to estimate the density of water as it is heated from 60°F to 130°F at 1 atm. Compare your result with the actual density (from the appendices).arrow_forward(1) The Surface tension of water in contact with air at 23°C is given as 725x104 N/m. The pressure inside a droplet of water is to be 0.0165 N/cm² greater than the outside pressure, calculate the diameter of a droplet of water in mm. (ii) The Surface tension of water in contact with air at 23°C is given as 745x10-4 N/m. The pressure inside a soap bubble is to be 0.0155 N/cm? greater than the outside pressure, calculate the radius of it in mm.arrow_forward
- The value of stress concentration factor depends on the geometry. If Ka and Kb are stress concentration factor for case (a) and case (b), respectively, which answer of the following is true? Ka > Kb KA = KB KA < KB None of the rest.arrow_forwardDefine the terms: (i) Kinematic viscosity (ii) Surface tension (iii) Specific gravity (iv) Vapour pressure (v) Newtonian fluid.arrow_forwardWhat is a fluid? Define mass density, specific weight, and real and ideal fluids. Differentiate between kinematics and statics.arrow_forward
