Given the shear modulus(G) for aluminum as 2.4e+10 N/m2 and the shear strain is given as 6e-5. What is the value for shear stress? Correct Answer 14.4e+5 N/m2

Shear modulus is the ratio of shear stress and shear strain. Therefore, if we simply multiply the shear modulus and shear strain we will obtain the shear stress. Hence the final answer is 2.4e+10 x 6e-5 which gives us 14.4e+5 N/m2 as the final answer.
