a 60 kg motor rests on four cylindrical rubber blocks. each cylinder has a height of 3 cm and a cross sectional area of 15 cm^2. the shear modulus for this rubber is 2 × 10^6 Nm^-2. if a sideways force of 300N is applied to the motor, how far will it move sideways??

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
 Force applied on each block:F=3004=75 NDistance moved sideways:L=FL=75×0.0315×10-4×2×106=0.00075 m=0.075 cm
