The strain energy stored in a body due to shear stress, is (where $$\tau $$ = Shear stress, C = Shear modulus and V = Volume of the body)
A
$$\frac{{\tau {\text{V}}}}{{2{\text{C}}}}$$
B
$$\frac{{2{\text{C}}}}{{\tau {\text{V}}}}$$
C
$$\frac{{{\tau ^2}{\text{V}}}}{{2{\text{C}}}}$$
D
$$\frac{{2{\text{C}}}}{{{\tau ^2}{\text{V}}}}$$
Correct Answer: $$\frac{{{\tau ^2}{\text{V}}}}{{2{\text{C}}}}$$
