MCQ

The units of modulus of rigidity are

A
$N - m$
B
$N/m$
C
$N - {m^2}$
✓
$N/{m^2}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$N/{m^2}$

d
We know that the modulus of rigidity is defined as:

$Y =\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}$

Since strain is a dimensionless quantity. So its unit will be same as that of stress.
