Explain Shear modulus or Rigidity modulus according to Class 11 Physics Chapter 8 Mechanical Properties of Solids.
Shear modulus (G) or rigidity modulus is the ratio of shearing stress to shearing strain within the elastic limit. It helps measure the solid's resistance to deformation by parallel forces acting tangentially on its surface. Mathematically,
G= Shearing Strain/Shearing Stress = (F/A)/0
Where, A is th
