The Young's modulus of the material of a wire is 6×1012 N/m2 and there is no transverse(lateral) strain in it, then its modulus of rigidity will be
None of the above
The correct option is A.
Relation between young’s modulus and transverse strain is as follows:
Y=2η(1+σ)
Where, η is modulus of rigidity
And σ is transverse strain
For no transverse strain (σ=0)
Y=2η
⇒η=Y2=3×1011 N/m2.
