Question

A solid circular shaft has been subjected to a pure torsion moment. The ratio of maximum shear stress to maximum normal stress at any point would be

• A. 1 : 2
• B. 1 : 1
• C. 2 : 3
• D. 2 : 1

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 : 1


Maximum shear stress = Maximum normal stress $=\tau$

So ratio = 1 : 1
