$A$ cylindrical rod of length $1 \ m$ and radius $4 \ cm$ is mounted vertically. It is subjected to a shear force of $10^5 \ N$ at the top. Considering infinitesimally small displacement in the upper edge,the angular displacement $\theta$ of the rod axis from its original position would be: (Shear modulus,$G = 10^{10} \ N/m^2$)

$A$ $2 \ m$ long rod of radius $1 \ cm$,which is fixed from one end,is given a twist of $0.8 \ radian$. The shear strain developed (in radian) will be $:-$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason $(R)$: $A$ coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ rectangular block of size $10\,cm \times 8\,cm \times 5\,cm$ is kept in three different positions $P, Q,$ and $R$ in turn as shown in the figure. In each case,the shaded area is rigidly fixed and a definite force $F$ is applied tangentially to the opposite face to deform the block. The displacement of the upper face will be

As shown in the figure,forces of $10^5\,N$ each are applied in opposite directions on the upper and lower faces of a cube of side $10\,cm$,shifting the upper face parallel to itself by $0.5\,cm$. If the side of another cube of the same material is $20\,cm$,then under similar conditions as above,the displacement will be ......... $cm$.
