In an incompressible fluid, the density is____________________?
Correct answer: D. Not affected with moderate change in temperature & pressure
- A. Greatly affected by moderate changes in pressure
- B. Greatly affected only by moderate changes in temperature
- C. Sensible to changes in both temperature & pressure
- D. Not affected with moderate change in temperature & pressure
Explanation
An incompressible fluid is treated as having constant density, so moderate changes in temperature and pressure do not appreciably alter it. Significant density changes indicate compressible behaviour.
