The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement 1:** The stretching of a coil is determined by its shear modulus. **Statement 2:** Shear modulus changes only the shape of a body, keeping its dimensions unchanged. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Shear Modulus:** - The shear modulus (also known as the modulus of rigidity) is a measure of a material's ability to withstand shear deformation. It describes how a material deforms under shear stress. 2. **Analyzing Statement 1:** - The stretching of a coil refers to how the coil changes when a force is applied. In the case of a coil, when it is stretched, it primarily undergoes a change in shape rather than a significant change in length. - Therefore, the stretching of a coil is indeed influenced by its shear modulus, as it determines how much the coil can deform under shear stress. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2:** - Statement 2 claims that shear modulus changes only the shape of a body while keeping its dimensions unchanged. This is accurate because shear deformation involves a change in shape (like twisting or shearing) without changing the overall dimensions (length and volume) of the material significantly. - Thus, this statement correctly describes the behavior of materials under shear stress. 4. **Conclusion:** - Both statements are true. Statement 1 is true because the stretching of a coil is indeed determined by its shear modulus. Statement 2 is also true as it correctly explains the nature of shear modulus in terms of shape change without altering dimensions. - Since Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1, we can conclude that both statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct option is A. ---
