Q.

A cylindrical rod of length 1 m and radius 4 cm is mounted vertically. It is subjected to a shear force of 105 N at the top. Considering infinitesimally small displacement in the upper edge, the angular displacement θ of the rod axis from its original position would be: (shear moduli, G=1010 N/m2)          [2025]

1 1/160 π  
2 1/4 π  
3 1/40 π  
4 1/2 π

σshear=FA=ηθ

Shear moduli = σshearθ

1010=105π×16×104×1θ

θ=1160πRadian
