Question
In a lab demo, the Wilberforce pendulum alternates between translational motion and this process. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero's group discovered "magic" values for this process that names a class of superconductive graphene-based materials. A measure of this process, denoted phi, is multiplied by radius over length to yield the shear strain. This process composes the five "fundamental" loading conditions alongside compression, tension, shear, and (*) bending. This type of deformation is the typical result of a force with non-zero lever arm. The devices used for the first measurements of the gravitational constant and Coulomb's constant are this process' "balances." For 10 points, what type of deformation is caused by torque? ■END■
ANSWER: twisting [accept torsion or torsion balance; accept twisted bilayer graphene; accept twist angle; prompt on rotation; prompt on torque until read; prompt on elastic deformation or angular deformation until "deformation" is read] (The angle of twist is denoted phi.)
