Question
The viscous force acting between two layers of a liquid is given by \[\frac{F}{A} = - \eta\frac{dv}{dz}\]. This F/A may be called
Options
pressure
longitudinal stress
tangential stress
volume stress
Solution
The viscous force acts tangentially between two parallel layers of a liquid. In terms of force on a material, it is analogous to a shearing force.
