A rubber cube of side \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) has one face fixed, while a tangential force \(1800 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied on its opposite face. If modulus of rigidity of rubber is \(2.4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\), then the lateral displacement of the strained face is ________

  1. A 3 mm
  2. B 5 mm
  3. C 15 mm
  4. D 1.5 mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 15 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Shear stress \[ =\frac{\text { Tangential force }}{\text { Area }}=\frac{1800 \mathrm{~N}}{(0.05)^2} \] Shear strain \(=\tan \theta\)…
