The edges of an aluminum cube are 10 cm ...

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
