While temperature, impurities, and the nature of the liquid affect surface tension, density does not directly influence it.

Flow rate does not affect the viscosity of a fluid; viscosity is a property of the fluid itself.

Honey has a higher viscosity compared to water, air, and olive oil due to its thicker consistency.

Honey has a much higher viscosity compared to water, air, and gasoline.

A Newtonian fluid has a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate applied.

Non-Newtonian fluids exhibit a change in viscosity with varying shear rates, unlike Newtonian fluids which have a constant viscosity.

An ideal fluid is defined as incompressible and having no viscosity.

Gases are highly compressible, meaning their volume can change significantly under pressure.

Cornstarch in water exhibits non-Newtonian behavior, as its viscosity changes with the applied shear stress.

A Newtonian fluid has a constant viscosity regardless of the shear rate.

Fluids are often considered incompressible for practical purposes, especially in hydrodynamics.

Cornstarch in water (oobleck) is a non-Newtonian fluid that exhibits varying viscosity depending on the shear rate.

Plastic deformation is not elastic; it is permanent deformation that occurs beyond the elastic limit.

Tensile modulus is not a standard term; the correct terms are Young's modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus.

Thermal stress is a result of temperature changes, while tensile, compressive, and shear stresses are types of mechanical stress.

The elastic potential energy stored in a stretched wire is given by U = (1/2) * Y * (ΔL^2 / L), which is proportional to the square of the elongation.

Mercury has a very high surface tension due to strong cohesive forces between its molecules, higher than that of water, ethanol, and benzene.

Steel has a much higher Young's modulus compared to rubber, wood, and plastic, indicating it is much stiffer.

Steel is known for its elastic properties, allowing it to return to its original shape after deformation.

Steel typically has a much higher Young's modulus compared to rubber, wood, and plastic.

Steel has a much higher Young's modulus compared to rubber, wood, and plastic, indicating it is much stiffer.

Water droplets on a leaf demonstrate surface tension, as the cohesive forces between water molecules create a 'skin' on the surface.

Surface tension is responsible for capillary action, allowing liquids to rise in narrow tubes.

Viscosity describes the resistance of a fluid to flow, which is a key factor in fluid flow resistance.

Floating of heavy objects is not a consequence of surface tension; it is due to buoyancy, while the other options are directly related to surface tension.

Floating of heavy objects is not related to surface tension; it is related to buoyancy. The other phenomena are directly influenced by surface tension.

Capillary action is primarily due to surface tension, as it allows liquids to rise in narrow tubes against gravity.

The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The elastic potential energy stored in a stretched wire is given by U = (1/2) * F * x, which is proportional to the square of the extension.

Solids have a definite shape and volume due to the closely packed arrangement of their particles.
