The edge of an aluminium cube is $10\; cm$ 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. The shear modulus of aluminium is $25\; GPa$. What is the vertical deflection of this face?

Shear modulus, $\eta=\frac{\text { Shear stress }}{\text { Shear strain }}=\frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\frac{L}{\Delta L}}$

$\therefore \Delta L=\frac{F L}{A \eta}$

$=\frac{980 \times 0.1}{10^{-2} \times\left(25 \times 10^{9}\right)}$

$=3.92 \times 10^{-7} m$

The vertical deflection of this face of the cube is $3.92 \times 10^{-7} \;m$
