A slab of side \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\) and thickness \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\) is subjected to a shearing force of \(10^5 \mathrm{~N}\) on its narrow edge. If the lower edge is riveted to the floor and upper edge is displaced by \(0.2 \mathrm{~mm}\), then shear modulus of the material of the slab is

  1. A 6 GPa
  2. B 5 GPa
  3. C 4 GPa
  4. D 4.5 GPa
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5 GPa

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the following figure. Shear strain \(=\frac{x}{l}=\frac{0.2 \mathrm{~mm}}{50 \mathrm{~cm}}=\frac{0.2 \times 10^{-3}}{50 \times 10^{-2}}\) Shear stress…
