5 Questions
What is the minimum shear viscosity of a material to be considered solid matter?
1014.6 Poise
What happens when a small load is applied to a solid material?
It remains unchanged
What is the characteristic that distinguishes solid matter from other materials?
Its high viscosity
What is the typical viscosity of a liquid?
10-2 Poise
What is the primary definition of solid matter?
A material with a high shear viscosity
Test your knowledge on solid matter (SM) and its defining characteristics. Learn about materials with a shear viscosity higher than 10^14.6 Poise, understanding why even a small applied load doesn't cause permanent deformation.
