Answer:

Shearing strain will be 0.1039 radian

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given change in length
$\Delta L=0.12inch$

Length of the pad L = 1.15 inch

We have to find the shearing strain

Shearing strain is given by

$\alpha =tan^(-1)(\Delta L)/(L)=tan^(-1)(0.12)/(1.15)=5.9571^(\circ)$

Shearing strain is always in radian so we have to change angle in radian

So
$5.9571* (\pi )/(180)=0.1039radian$
