Physics · JEE | MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the properties of fluids and pressure: (A) The SI unit of pressure is pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to \( \text{N m}^{-2} \). (B) Density is a positive scalar quantity with dimensions \( [\text{ML}^{-3}] \). (C) Fluids offer very high resistance to shear stress compared to solids. (D) Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately \( 1.013 \times 10^5\text{ Pa} \). How many of the above statements are correct?
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option C
Only three
Explanation
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct. Statement (C) is false because fluids offer million times smaller resistance to shear stress than solids.
