NON NEWTONIAN FLUID

~ Madhavan, Arun

A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton’s law of viscosity, i.e., constant viscosity independent of stress. In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid. [more..]

PREPARATION : 

Preparation of the non Newtonian liquid:

Needed materials:

1. Corn powder (50 gm)
2. Water (50 ml)
3. Shampoo (5 ml)
4. Honey (1 table spoon)

Mix all the ingredients slowly and make sure you mix them properly. Mixing might be a little harder and might take around 10 to 15 minutes.

WORKING :

After the preparation of the liquid ,the surface looks like a liquid. When one puts a finger slowly into the liquid it will go inside. When we increase the speed of our hand our finger will not go inside. Please check the video below. We should this to the school children.
