A cylindrical bar with a radius of 0.01 m and length 1 m is subjected to a shear force of 100 N. Calculate the shear stress and shear modulus if the resulting shear strain observed is 0.02.
💡 Hint: Use the area of the circular cross section to find shear stress.
A material has a shear modulus of 80 GPa. If the shear stress applied is 32 MPa, what is the shear strain induced in the material?
💡 Hint: Make sure to use consistent units for stress to get shear strain.
