The shearing strain produced in a block ...

The shearing strain produced in a block of metal subjected to a shearing stress of `10^(8)N//m^(2)` is
( Modulus of rigidity `eta=8 xx 10^(10)N//m^(2)`)

A

`1.1xx10^(-3)`

B

`1.5xx10^(-3)`

C

`1.25 xx 10^(-3)`

D

`1.6xxO^(-3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`eta=("shearing stress")/("shearing strain")`
`"shearing strain"= ("shearing stress")/(eta)`
`=(10^(8))/(8xx10^(10))=1.25xx10^(-3)`.
