NEET Physics Viscosity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11

Consider a diagram showing two parallel plates with a viscous fluid between them. The top plate is moving with velocity v while the bottom plate is stationary. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the shearing stress and the strain rate in the fluid?

Question diagram
A

Shearing stress is directly proportional to the strain rate.

B

Shearing stress is inversely proportional to the strain rate.

C

Shearing stress is independent of the strain rate.

D

Shearing stress is exponentially related to the strain rate.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, the coefficient of viscosity is defined as the ratio of shearing stress to the strain rate, indicating a direct proportionality.
