Question 1

What is the definition of shear stress?

  • A force that resists fluid motion
  • Pressure exerted on a surface
  • The force per unit area applied parallel to a surface

💡 Hint: Think of how force is applied on surfaces.

Question 2

True or False: The Reynolds number is used to predict both turbulence and viscosity in fluids.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall what Reynolds number measures.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylindrical object of radius 0.25 m is submerged in a fluid with a viscosity of 0.002 Pa.s and moving at 4 m/s. What is the Reynolds number, and how would you classify the flow?

💡 Hint: Use given parameters to substitute into Reynolds number formula.

Question 2

In a testing scenario, a model car has a frontal area of 0.02 m² and a drag coefficient of 0.3. If tested at a velocity of 25 m/s, how much drag force can we estimate on the full-scale car with a frontal area of 1.2 m²?

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to scale the drag coefficient for practical use.
