JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11- 8. mechanical properties of solids

A square aluminium (shear modulus is \(25 \times 10^{9}\,Nm ^{-2}\) ) slab of side \(60\,cm\) and thickness \(15\,cm\) is subjected to a shearing force (on its narrow face) of \(18.0 \times 10^{4}\,N\). The lower edge is riveted to the floor. The displacement of the upper edge is \(.......\mu\,m\).

  1. A \(24\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(48\)
  4. D \(96\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(48\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ F }{ A }=\eta \frac{ x }{\ell} \Rightarrow \frac{ F \ell}{ An }= x\) \(x =\frac{18 \times 10^{4} \times 60 \times 10^{-2}}{60 \times 10^{-2} \times 15 \times 10^{-2} \times 25 \times 10^{9}}\) \(=48 \times 10^{-6}\,m =48\,\mu m\)
