Steel ruptures when a shear stress of $3.5 \times 10^8 \, N \, m^{-2}$ is applied. The force needed to punch a $1 \, cm$ diameter hole in a steel sheet $0.3 \, cm$ thick is nearly:

$A$ horizontal aluminium rod of diameter $4 \text{ cm}$ projects $6 \text{ cm}$ from a wall. An object of mass $400 \pi \text{ kg}$ is suspended from the end of the rod. The shearing modulus of aluminium is $3.0 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$. The vertical deflection of the end of the rod is (given $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$): (in $\text{ mm}$)

The ratio of lengths of two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $2:1$. What is the ratio of the modulus of rigidity of $A$ and $B$ (in $:1$)?

$A$ steel rod is projecting out of a rigid wall. The shearing strength of steel is $345 \, MN/m^2$. The dimensions are $AB = 5 \, cm$ and $BC = BE = 2 \, cm$. The maximum load that can be put on the face $ABCD$ is .......... $kg$ (neglect bending of the rod). Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$.

Assume that a block of very low shear modulus is fixed on an inclined plane as shown. Due to elastic forces,it will deform. What will be the shape of the block?

The dimensions of shear modulus are
