$A$ steel plate of face area $1 \, cm^2$ and thickness $4 \, cm$ is fixed rigidly at the lower surface. $A$ tangential force $F = 10 \, kN$ is applied on the upper surface as shown in the figure. The lateral displacement $x$ of the upper surface with respect to the lower surface is .............. $m$ (Modulus of rigidity for steel is $8 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$).

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of same length and of same material have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively. Their one end is fixed with a rigid support and at the other end,an equal twisting couple is applied. Then,the ratio of the angle of twist at the end of $A$ to the angle of twist at the end of $B$ will be ..............
