MediumDistinguish between a liquid body and a solid body.
(N/A) $1$. $A$ solid body can withstand shear stress,which changes its shape while keeping its volume fixed.
$2$. $A$ liquid (fluid) body changes its shape continuously under the application of even a very small shear stress.
$3$. The shearing stress required to deform a fluid is about a million times smaller than that required for a solid.
