The pressure at a point in a fluid is not the same in all directions, when the fluid is viscous and___________________?
Correct answer: A. Moving
- A. Moving
- B. Static
- C. Cold
- D. Hot
Explanation
Pressure is equal in all directions at a point only for a fluid at rest. In a moving viscous fluid, viscous shear stresses make the stress state direction-dependent.
