← ScienceWhich outcome results when hydrostatic stress increases rapidly in viscous solutions?
A)Shear thickening becomes more apparent✓
B)Newtonian behavior approaches ideal conditions
C)Viscosity approaches zero near stability
D)Temperature sensitivity decreases dramatically
💡 Explanation
Shear thickening occurs due to dilatancy, because high hydrostatic stress compacts fluid particles, driving them into closer interlocking, therefore viscous solutions appear to thicken rather than experiencing decreased sensitivity under changing conditions.
