$A$ force $F$ of the same magnitude is applied tangentially on the upper and lower faces of a cube in opposite directions. The side of the cube is $L$. The upper face of the cube shifts parallel to itself by a distance $x_{1}$. If another cube of the same material but with side $2L$ is subjected to the same condition,then the displacement of the top layer is:

  • A
    $x_{1}/6$
  • B
    $x_{1}/2$
  • C
    $x_{1}/8$
  • D
    $x_{1}/4$

The edge of an aluminium cube is $10\; cm$ long. One face of the cube is firmly fixed to a vertical wall. $A$ mass of $100\; kg$ is then attached to the opposite face of the cube. The shear modulus of aluminium is $25\; GPa$. What is the vertical deflection of this face?

Two slabs with square cross-sections of different materials $(1, 2)$ have equal sides $(l)$ and thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ such that $d_2 = 2d_1$ and $l > d_2$. Considering the lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor,we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is $\theta_2 = 2\theta_1$. If the shear modulus of material $1$ is $4 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$,then the shear modulus of material $2$ is $x \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$,where the value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
