Question

The maximum shear stress in a Mohr’s stress circle is equal to

• A. Radius of the Mohr’s circle
• B. Diameter of the Mohr’s circle
• C. Square root of the Maximum shear stress
• D. Square of the Maximum shear stress

Hint:

In Mohr’s circle, the maximum shear stress is directly represented by the radius of the circle. Ensure to understand this graphical representation for stress analysis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The maximum shear stress in a Mohr’s stress circle corresponds to the radius of the circle. This is because the shear stress is represented as the distance from the center to the point on the circle representing the maximum shear. Hence, the correct answer is "Radius of the Mohr’s circle".
