The edge of an aluminium cube is 10 cm


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 270 People


The edge of an aluminium cube is 10 cm long. One face of the cube is firmly fixed to a vertical wall. A mass of 100 kg is then attached to the opposite face of the cube. The shear modulus of aluminium is 25 GPa. What is the vertical deflection of this face? question 9.6 machenical properties of solid

Answered by admin @



Shear ' s modulus (η) of aluminium = 25 GPa 

= 25 x 10⁹ Pa 

Shear's Modulus , η = shear stress / shear strain 

⇒ (F/A) /(L/ΔL) 

⇒ ΔL = FL/Aη

⇒ 9.8 x 0.1 / 10⁻² x (25 x 10⁹) 

= 3.92 x 10⁻⁷ m
