- The modulus of rigidity is the ratio of
A.
Longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain |
B.
Volume stress to volume strain |
C.
Shearing stress to shearing strain |
D.
Tensile stress to tensile strain |
Answer : Option C
Explanation :
The modulus of rigidity, also known as shear modulus, is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain of a structural member. This property depends on the material of the member: the more elastic the member, the higher the modulus of rigidity.
