Options:

A) Sliding of molecular layer is much easier than compression or expansion

B) Reciprocal of bulk modulus of elasticity is called compressibility

C)It is difficult to twist a long rod as compared to small rod

D) Hollow shaft is much stronger than a solid rod of same length and same mass

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

For twisting, Angle of shear $ \varphi \propto \frac{1}{L} $ i.e. if L is more then $ \varphi $ will be small.
