The shear stress at a point in a moving fluid is directly proportional to the rate of shear strain. For a one-dimensional flow. The constant of proportionality μ is known as the coefficient of viscosity or simply the viscosity.

Directly proportional to Rate of shear strain and velocity gradient.

It must be rate of shear strain.

Well shear stress is directly proportional to shear strainand the velocity gradient.

It is Option C because it doesn't depend on shear stress. It may be constant for a liquid but it's a physical property of fluid. Shear stress depends on viscosity of fluid.

Goutam said:   7 years ago
Viscosity for a particular fluid is constant. So it does not vary. Shear stress changes only with the rate of shear strain. The correct Answer should be B.

Akshay said:   7 years ago
The answer is C because shear stress is directly proportional to the rate of change of shear strain and viscosity. Not the shear strain only.

Ashu said:   7 years ago
Ans is C

Shear stress = u (du/dy).

Hence the shear stress ~ viscosity.

What is the correct one? please explain.

Shear stress is directly proportional to shear strain rate. Not proportional to strain only.
