When a shearing force is applied to a body,elastic potential energy is stored in it. Upon removing the force,this energy:

  • A
    Converts into kinetic energy
  • B
    Converts into heat energy
  • C
    Remains as potential energy
  • D
    None of the above

Write the formula,dimensional formula,and $SI$ unit for the Shear Modulus and the Bulk Modulus.

$A$ sphere of mass $4 \,kg$ is attached to one end of a steel wire of length $1 \,m$ and radius $1 \,mm$. It is whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity $10 \,rad \,s^{-1}$. If the sphere is at the lowest point of its path,the elongation in the wire is . . . . . . $(g=10 \,ms^{-2}, Y_{\text{steel}}=20 \times 10^{10} \,Nm^{-2})$ (in $\,mm$)

Two strips of metal are riveted together at their ends by four rivets,each of diameter $6.0\; mm$. What is the maximum tension that can be exerted by the riveted strip if the shearing stress on the rivet is not to exceed $6.9 \times 10^{7}\; Pa$? Assume that each rivet is to carry one quarter of the load.

What are the factors on which the modulus of elasticity depends?

Statement $(A)$ For an ideal liquid,the bulk modulus is infinite and the shear modulus is zero.
