A steel plate of face area 1cm2 and thickness


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 295 People


A steel plate of face area 4 cm2 and thickness 0.5 cm is fixed rigidly at the lower surface. A tangential force of 10 N is applied on the upper surface. Find the lateral displacement of the upper surface with respect to the lower surface. Rigidity modulus of steel = 8.4 × 1010 N m−2.

Lateral Displacement is 1.5 \times 10^-^9 m

Explanation:

Given:  

Face region of steel plate A = 4\ cm^2 = 4 \times 10^-^4\ m^2

Thickness of steel plate d = 0.5\ cm = 0.5 \times 10^-^2 m

Applied force on the upper surface F = 10 N  

Rigidity modulus of steel = 8.4 \times 10^1^0 N m^-^2

Let θ be the angular displacement.

Rigidity Modulus m = \frac {F}{A\theta}  

m = \frac {10}{4\times 10^-^4\theta}

\theta = \frac {10}{4\times 10^-^4 \times 8.4 \times 10^1^0}

= 0.297 \times 10^-^6

Lateral displacement of the upper surface as for the lower surface = \theta \times d

(0.297) \times 10^-^6\times (0.5) \times 10^-^2

1.5 \times 10^-^9 m

Henceforth, the necessary Lateral Displacement of the steel plate is 1.5 \times 10^-^9 m
