✦ Synopsis

A measurement of the shear strength of solid hydrogen at 4.2 K at pressures up to 1 700 bars has been made using the change in resistivity of a copper specimen in a pistoncylinder apparatus, The results fit the relationship S = 980 exp (-11.37 T/T m) bars given by Towle, and provide an explanation for some results of Goree and Scott on the pressure variation of the resistivity of Mo at 4.2 K.
