A rubber cube of side 5 cm has one face fixed while a tangential force 1800 N is applied on its opposite face. If modulus of rigidity of rubber is 2.4×106 N m-2, then the lateral displacement of the strained face is______.
  1. 3 mm
  2. 5 mm
  3. 15 mm
  4. 1.5 mm

Solution

Recall the formula of modulus of rigidity,

η=FA×Ll=180025×10-4×5×10-2l=2.4×106l=180025×10-4×5×10-22.4×106=15 mm
