Modulus of rigidity of an incompressible liquid is

  1. A Non zero constant
  2. B Zero
  3. C Cannot predict
  4. D Infinite
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The modulus of rigidity, also known as the shear modulus (\(G\)), is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. For a fluid, shear stress is proportional to the rate of shear strain, not the shear strain itself. When a static shear force is applied to a liquid, it…
