Question
Which of the following is correct about fluids? I. They conform to the boundaries of any container in which they are kept II. They can withstand shearing stress III. They possess ability to flow
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Fluids (liquids and gases) conform to container shape and can flow, but they cannot withstand shearing stress (they deform continuously under shear). So I and III are correct, II is false.
Hint
Fluids flow and take shape of container, but have no resistance to shear.
