A copper (shear modulus 4.2 x 1010 N/m2) cube, 0.331 m on a side, is subjected to two shearing forces, each of magnitude F = 2.17 x 10 6 N (see the drawing). Find the angle (in degrees), which is one measure of how the shape of the block has been altered by shear deformation.

Question

A copper (shear modulus 4.2 x 1010 N/m2) cube, 0.331 m on a side, is subjected to two shearing forces, each of magnitude F = 2.17 x 10 6 N (see the drawing). Find the angle  (in degrees), which is one measure of how the shape of the block has been altered by shear deformation.

For my answer I received, 0.0089 degrees am I correct?

Bot · Answer

Yes, you are correct. The angle of shear deformation in this case is 0.0089 degrees.
