Solution

In fluid mechanics, a fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress, or external force. Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas, and, to some extent, plastic solids. They can flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solid materials.
