Shear thinning is also called as __________

a) thixotropy
b) pseudoplastic
c) non-newton fluid
d) relative shear stress

Answer: a
Explanation: Shear thinning is also called as thixotropy. It is a non-Newtonian fluid, where there is a decrease in viscosity under low shear strain and there is no flow at all until a yield stress is reached after which the flow occurs excluding time-dependent effects. Ketchup is an example of shear thinning.
