Which of the following statements is correct with respect to modulus of rigidity?
Question

Which of the following statements is correct with respect to modulus of rigidity?

A.

It depends only on modulus of elasticity and has no relation with Poisson’s ratio.

B.

It is not known as shear modulus of elasticity.

C.

It is also known as bulk modulus of elasticity.

D.

It is a ratio between shear stress and shear strain.

Correct option is D


Shear modulus of rigidity:
 The ratio of shearing stress to the corresponding shearing strain is called the shear modulus of the material and
 It is represented by G.
 It is also called the modulus of rigidity.
 It is associated with the change in the shape of a body.
Note:
 Young’s Modulus of Elasticity is related with the change in the length of a body.
 The bulk Modulus of Elasticity is related with the change in the volume of a body.
