Between each pair of vertebrae in the spinal column is a cylindrical disc of cartilage. Typically, this disc has a radius of about 3.0xx10^(-2)m and a thickness of about 7.0xx10^(-3)m . The shear modulus of cartilage is 1.2xx10^(7)N//m^(2) . Suppose a shearing force of magnitude 11 N is applied parallel to the top surface of the disc while the bottom surface remains fixed in place. How far does the top surface move relative to the bottom surface ?

One of the square faces of a metal slab of side 50 cm and thickness 20 cm is rigidly fixed on a horizontal surface. If a tangential force of 30 N is applied to the top face and it is known that the shear modulus of the material is 4 xx 10^(10) N//m^(2) , then the displacement (in m) of the top face is

If a shear force of 3000 N is applied on a cube of side 40 cm, then displacement of the top surface of the cube when bottom surface is fixed, is " "(eta=5xx10^(10)N//m^(2))

A long cylindrical tank of cross-sectional area 0.5m^(2) is filled with water. It has a small hole at a height 50cm from the bottom. A movable piston of cross-sectional area almost equal to 0.5m^(2) is fitted on the top of the tank such that it can slide in the tank freely. A load of 20 kg is applied on the top of the water by piston, as shown in the figure. Calculate the speed of the water jet with which it hits the surface when piston is 1m above the bottom. (Ignore the mass of the piston)

The shear modulus for a metal is 50000 Mpa . Suppose that a shear force of 200 N is applied on the upper surface of a cube of this metal that is 3.0 cm on each edge. How far will the top surface be displaced?

Two parallel forces of 4000 N are applied tangentially in opposite direction to the opposite faces of a metallic cube of side length 0.25 m. The shear modulus of the material is 80xx10^(9) Pa. Then the displacement of the upper surface relative to the lower surface is

A rubber eraser 3 cmxx1cmxx8cm is clamped at one end with 8 cm edge as vertical. A horizontal force of 2.1N is applied on the free surface. Shear modulus of rubber =1.4xx10^(5)Nm^(-2) . The horizontal displacement (in mm) of the top face is x. Find x.

A large tank of (height h_(1)=4m ) water has a hose connected to it,as shown in figure.The tank is sealed at the top and has compressed air between the water surface and the top.When the water height h_(2) is 3m ,the gauge pressure of air P_(1)=10^(5)N/m^(2) .Assume that the air above the water surface expands isothermally. The velocity of flow,out of the hose when h_(2) has decreased to 2m is sqrt(xg) . Assume ideal fluid flow and P_(atm )=10^(5)N/m^(2) .The value of x is (Neglect viscosity of liquid)
