What is the modulus of rigidity of a liquid?

$A$ wire of length $1 \text{ m}$ and radius $2 \text{ mm}$ is vertically clamped. The lower end is twisted through an angle of $45^{\circ}$. The angle of shear is $.....$ (in $^{\circ}$)

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same length and of the same material have the respective radii $r_1$ and $r_2$. Their one end is fixed to a rigid support,and at the other end,an equal twisting couple is applied. The ratio of the angle of twist at the end of $A$ to the angle of twist at the end of $B$ will be:
