1.	A square lead slab of side 40 cm and thickness 10 cm is subject to a shearing force (on its narrow face) of 9.0 xx 10 ^(4) N.The lower edge is riveted to the floor. How much will the upper edge be displaced ? Shear modulus of lead G=5.6 xx 10 ^(9) N//m ^(2)
Answer» SOLUTION :Displacement of upper edge `DELTA X =0.16mm`
