Suppose the object in figure shown is the brass plate of an outdoor sculpture. It experiences shear forces as a result of an erthquake. The frame is 0.80 m and 0.50 cm thick. Calculate the shear strain produced in this object if the displacement x is 0.16 mm. (Shear modulus `=3.5xx10^(10)Pa`)

Answer» `"Shear strain"=(x)/(h)=(1.6xx10^(-4)m)/(0.80m)=2.0xx10^(-4)`
