A gas is a fluid. It has less molecular space and freedom of motion than liquids as well negligible cohesive intermolecular forces. Shear thinning and thickening are types of non- Newtonian fluids. Gage pressure = Absolute Pressure + 14.7 4. The specific weight of an unknown object is 75 lbf/ft^3. The object is placed in water. The object will float within the water but not float to the water surface. The center of mass is the point through which the resultant force acts on a submerged inclined plane. Solution 1.TRUE...ie correct explaination 2.TRUE SHEAR THICKENING IS DILATENT...SHEAR THINING IS PSEUDOPLASTIC 3.FALSE....ABSOLUTE PRESSURE=GAUGE+ ABSOLUTE PRESSURE 4.FALSE..IT IS ALWAYS FLOAT ON THE WATER 5. TRUE...
