Liquids which become more rigid as the rate of deformation increases is termed as_____________?

Correct answer: C. Dilatant

  • A. Thixotropic
  • B. Pseudoplastic
  • C. Dilatant
  • D. Newton

Explanation

Dilatant liquids are shear-thickening materials, so their apparent viscosity and rigidity increase as the rate of deformation rises. Pseudoplastic materials show the opposite behaviour and become less viscous with faster deformation.
