Question

A static fluid can have (a) non-zero normal and shear stress (b) negative normal stress and zero shear stress (c) positive normal stress and zero shear stress (d) zero normal stress and non-zero shear stress

Answer 1

i think it should be option C as liquids can't bear shear stress.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since the fluid is static, there is no shear force. Then only hydrostatic forces acts which are normal and compressive in nature.
