Chapter 7: Problem 945

Shearing stress causes change in (A) length (B) breadth (C) shape (D) volume

Short Answer

Expert verified
Shearing stress causes a change in the \(shape\) of a material, not in its length, breadth, or volume. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) shape.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Shearing Stress

Shearing stress is the force applied parallel or tangential to a surface of a material, causing the layers of the material to slide past each other. It results in a deformation of the material.
02

Effects of Shearing Stress

When shearing stress is applied to a material, it affects the shape of the material but does not change its volume. The deformation caused by shearing stress results in a distortion of the material's shape while the overall volume remains constant.
03

Answer Selection

Based on the understanding of shearing stress and its effects, we can conclude that the correct option is (C) shape. Shearing stress causes change in the shape of the material, not in the length, breadth, or volume.
