Shear modulus is zero for

Answer

Shear modulus is applicable to solids where deforming force causes change in shape of body. For fluids it is not possible since they have no fixed shape.

A conducting bar of length $L$ is free to slide on two parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure  Two resistors $R _{1}$ and $R _{2}$ are connected across the ends of the rails. There is a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ pointing into the page. An external agent pulls the bar to the left at a constant speed $v$

The correct statement about the directions of induced currents $I _{1}$ and $I _{2}$ flowing through $R _{1}$ and $R _{2}$ respectively is

A $10.0 \,W$ electrical heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \,kg$ of water.It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rose by $3 \,K$ in $15 \,min$. The container is then emptied, dried and filled with $2 \,kg$ of an oil. It is now observed that the same heater raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \,K$ in $20 \,min$. Assuming no other heat losses in any of the processes, the specific heat capacity of the oil is ................ $ \times 10^3 \,JK ^{-1} kg ^{-1}$
