Which law/principle of solid mechanics is similar/equivalent to Newton's law of viscosity in fluid mechanics ?

Correct answer: C. Hooke's law

  • A. Archimedes principle
  • B. Newton's second law of motion
  • C. Hooke's law
  • D. Newton's third law of motion

Explanation

Newton's law of viscosity relates shear stress to velocity gradient, while Hooke's law relates elastic stress to strain. Both express a proportional stress-response relationship, making Hooke's law the solid-mechanics analogue.
