The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and opposite forces which are acting tangentially across the resisting section resulting the shearing of the body across its section is called ____________
A. Bending stress
B. Compressive stress
C. Shear strain
D. Shear stress
Answer:D
The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and opposite forces which are acting tangentially across the resisting section resulting the shearing of the body across its section is called ____________
A. Bending stress B. Compressive stress C. Shear strain D. Shear stress
Explanation: Shear stress makes the body to shear off across the section. It is tangential to the area over which it acts. The corresponding strain is the shear strain.
