The shear stress at the centre of a circular shaft under torsion is

AMaximum

BMinimum

CZero

DUnpredictable

Answer:

C. Zero

Read Explanation:

The shear stress at the center of a circular shaft under torsion is zero. This is because the shearing stress varies directly as the distance 'r' from the axis of the shaft.
