A cube of sponge rubber with edge length...

A cube of sponge rubber with edge length `5 cm` has a force of `2N` applied horizontally to the top face (parallel to an edge) while the bottom face is held fixed. If the top face is displaced horizontally through a distance of `1 mm`, find the shear modulus for the sponge rubber. (in `N//m^2`)

A

`2 xx 10^4`

B

`3 xx 10^4`

C

`4 xx 10^4`

D

`5 xx 10^4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

We have `G=("Stress")/("Strain")=(F//A)/(tantheta)`
`tantheta~=theta~=0.001m//0.02 rad`
`S=(F/A)/(tantheta)~=F/(Atheta)~=(2N)/((2.5xx10^(-3))(0.02rad))=4xx10^(4)Nm^(-2)`
