A horizontal aluminum rod of diameter `4.8 cm` projects `5.3 cm` from a wall. A `1200 kg` object is suspended from the end of the rod. The shear modulus of aluminum is `3.0xx10^(10)N//m^(2)`. Neglecting the mass of the rod find a shearing stress on the rod and b the vertical deflection of the end of the rod.

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the shearing stress on the rod and then find the vertical deflection of the end of the rod.

### Step 1: Calculate the Force Acting on the Rod
The force \( F \) acting on the rod due to the suspended mass can be calculated using the formula:
\[ F = m \cdot g \]
where:
