Question
The shear modulus of an elastic body under shear deformation plotted against the reciprocal of the largest displacement has a slope with units of:
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Shear modulus G = stress / strain. Stress = F/A (N/m² = kg·m⁻¹·s⁻²). Reciprocal of displacement introduces factor m⁻¹. So units: kg·m/s².
Hint
Check units of stress and strain.
