The shear modulus of elasticity G is:
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The shear modulus of elasticity/rigidity G is a material's ability to resist deformation, it is defined as the ratio of tangential stress to the shearing strain within the elastic limit. It can be understood better by the following (where y=θ).
