SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -For this reason oobleck is known as a non-Newtonian Fluid. If you apply a force to it by smacking or squeezing it this fluid will become a solid.

Detailed explanation-2: -An inexpensive, non-toxic example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g., cornstarch/cornflour) in water, sometimes called “oobleck", “ooze", or “magic mud” (1 part of water to 1.5–2 parts of corn starch). The name “oobleck” is derived from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck.

Detailed explanation-3: -As far as I know, there is no such thing as a non-newtonian solid. The cornstarch and water mixture you were asking about is considered a non-newtonian fluid, but it is actually composed of both a solid and a liquid.

Detailed explanation-4: -In reality most fluids are non-Newtonian, which means that their viscosity is dependent on shear rate (Shear Thinning or Thickening) or the deformation history (Thixotropic fluids).
