Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is true about the shear modulus of a material? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what shear stress is. Shear stress occurs when a force is applied parallel to the surface of a material.
  • Step 2: Learn what shear modulus (G) means. It is a measure of how much a material will deform when shear stress is applied.
  • Step 3: Realize that a higher shear modulus means the material is stiffer and deforms less under shear stress.
  • Step 4: Recognize that shear modulus is important in engineering and materials science to predict how materials will behave under different forces.
