For steel, the ultimate strength in shear as compared to in tension is nearly:

ASame

BHalf

COne-third

DTwo-third

Answer:

D. Two-third

Read Explanation:

Steel is stronger in tension than in shear. The relation between ultimate strength in tension and shear is given by $\sigma_{shear} =0.6 \sigma_{UT}$ where sigma UT is the ultimate strength in tension. Therefore, the ultimate strength in shear as compared to in tension is nearly 2:3.
