If the stress component ?xx is given by ? xx = ?p + 2? ?u/?x , the incompressible fluid is:

(A) Linear and isotropic
(B) Isotropic and homogeneous
(C) Linear and homogeneous
(D) Linear, isotropic, and homogeneous


(A) Linear and isotropic
The fluid is homogeneous if fluid properties, such as ?, do not depend on position. That leaves only (A) as a possibility. The fluid must be linear, that is, there must be a linear relation between the velocity and the stress components. It must also be isotropic, i.e., it must have the same properties in all directions at a given point in the flow.
