Question

Given a shear stress of txy = 35 000 kPa and a shear modulus of G = 75 GPa, the shear strain is most nearly

Solution

The shear strain (γ) can be calculated using the formula:

γ = τ/G

where: τ is the shear stress, and G is the shear modulus.

Given that τ = 35,000 kPa = 35,000,000 Pa (since 1 kPa = 1000 Pa) and G = 75 GPa = 75,000,000,000 Pa (since 1 GPa = 1,000,000,000 Pa), we can substitute these values into the formula:

γ = 35,000,000 Pa / 75,000,000,000 Pa = 0.000467

Therefore, the shear strain is most nearly 0.000467.
