The edges of an aluminum cube are `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. Shear modulus of aluminum is `25 xx 10^(9) Pa`, the vertical deflection in the face to which mass is attached is

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the vertical deflection of the aluminum cube when a mass is attached, we will follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Convert the edge length of the cube from centimeters to meters**:
\[ L = 10 \text{ cm} = 0.1 \text{ m} \]
