The document presents viscometer data measuring the shear stress and shear strain of a material. A power trendline fitted to the data results in an equation of the form τ = k(du/dy)^n with constants k = 0.0162 and n = 0.7934. This indicates the material is pseudoplastic, also known as shear thinning, where viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate. The apparent viscosity is then calculated from the equation η = k(du/dy)^(n-1) using the fitted values of k and n.
