Page 7 - When this continuous alteration of form is only produced by stresses exceeding a certain value, the substance is called a Solid, however soft it may be. When the very smallest stress, if continued long enough, will cause a constantly increasing change of form, the body must be regarded as a Viscous fluid) however hard it may be.
