Chapter 2, Problem 78SDP
An inexpensive claylike material called Silly Putty is generally available in stores that sell toys and games. Obtain a sample and perform the following experiments: (a) Shape it into a ball, and drop it onto a flat surface. (b) Reround the ball and place a heavy book on it for one minute. (c) Shape the putty into a long rod, and pull on it—first slowly, then very quickly. Describe your observations, referring to the specific sections in this chapter where each particular observation is relevant.

(most likely) the surface tension?
The one with units of m2/s
The one with units of N/m
The one with units of N-s/m2
The one that is m2/(s²"K)
The one with units of kg/m3
QUESTION 4
