A rectangular block of size 400mm x 50mm x 50mm is subjected to a shear stress of 500kg/cm2. If the modulus of rigidity of the material is 1×106 kg/cm2, the strain energy will be __________

A rectangular block of size 400mm x 50mm x 50mm is subjected to a shear stress of 500kg/cm2. If the modulus of rigidity of the material is 1×106 kg/cm2, the strain energy will be __________ Correct Answer 125 kg-cm

Strain energy stored = τ2V/2G = 5002/2×106 x 40x5x5 = 125 kg-cm.
