- Which of the following statement about solid, liquid, gas, fluid and fluid mechanics is NOT correct? o Compared to Gas, liquid has very small cohesive force. Therefore, liquid can form a free surface in a gravitational field. Solid has the strongest intermolecular bond, while gas has the weakest intermolecular bond. Fluid mechanics deals with liquids and gases in motion or at rest. So fluid mechanics include fluid dynamics and fluid statics. Both liquid and gas belong to fluid. When a constant shear force is applied, fluid never stops deforming and reach a constant rate of strain.arrow_forwardCalculate the degree of indeterminacy of the structure shown below.arrow_forwardhello, I am a bit confused with this.
