Water! A Newtonian fluid continues to act as a fluid no matter what forces are applied to it. The classic example is water.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

Other examples are "sugar solutions, glycerin, silicone oils, light-hydrocarbon oils"

So is gasoline:

Oh, and air and most other gases are Newtonian fluids, which goes to show you that terms used in one field may be used quite differently from common terminology:

BTW, if you cannot believe someone, you should also question what you find on an Internet site--after all, I could probably find a site that gives you incorrect information as well. That means,like it or not, you ARE trusting me: trusting me to find you a reputable site. The best place to look would be a reputable college-level text or, if you are in high school, the Encyclopedia Brittanica.

A Newtonian fluid (named for Isaac Newton) is a fluid that flows like water—its shear stress is linearly proportional to the velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to the plane of shear. The constant of proportionality is known as the viscosity.
for this i given link(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid)

those fluids in which viscosity is constant and independent of shear rate but is highly dependent on temperature; also refer to absolute viscosity.
Examples of Newtonian fluids are water, syrup, mineral oils, lacquers, and solvents.

I can't answer that question but you can ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
