In regions of the cardiovascular system where there is steady laminar blood flow, the shear stress on cells lining the walls of the blood vessels is about 20 N / M2. If the shear strain is about 0.008, estimate the shear modulus for the affected cells.

Answer:

Shear Modulus = 2500 Pa = 2.5 KPa

Explanation:

The shear modulus is defined as the ratio between the shear stress and the shear strain. Hence, the shear modulus, in this case, can be calculated by the use of the following formula:

[tex]Shear\ Modulus = \frac{Shear\ Stress}{Shear\ Strain}\\[/tex]

we have,

shear stress = 20 N/m²

shear strain = 0.008

Therefore,

[tex]Shear\ Modulus = \frac{20\ N/m^2}{0.008}\\\\[/tex]

Shear Modulus = 2500 Pa = 2.5 KPa
