Solution

The correct option is A 0.3 radian, 1.5 cm
Given,
L=5×102 m
Tangential Force F=1800 N
Modulus of rigidity η=2.4×106 N/m2

As we know,
Modulus of rigidity η=Tangential StressShear strain=(FA)θ
Shear strain (θ)=FA×η=1800(5×5×104)×2.4×106
=18025×24=310=0.3 radian

Shear strain(θ)=xL=0.3
x=0.3×5×102=1.5×102 m=1.5 cm
