If a material becomes more resistant to shear deformation, then shear modulus will
Correct answer: A. increase.
- A. increase.
- B. decrease.
- C. become zero.
- D. remain constant.
Explanation
A higher shear modulus indicates that a material is more resistant to shear deformation. Conversely, a material that is easily deformed under shear stress will have a lower shear modulus.Conclusion:Therefore, if a material becomes more resistant to shear deformation, its shear modulus will increase.

About Young's Modulus and Stress-Strain
Stress and strain describe how a solid deforms under an applied force, while Young's modulus is the ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain within the elastic limit. The topic includes elastic and plastic behaviour, Hooke's law, the stress strain graph and the difference between stiffness, strength and breaking stress.
