As shown in the figure,forces of $10^5\,N$ each are applied in opposite directions on the upper and lower faces of a cube of side $10\,cm$,shifting the upper face parallel to itself by $0.5\,cm$. If the side of another cube of the same material is $20\,cm$,then under similar conditions as above,the displacement will be ......... $cm$.

$A$ rod of length $l$ and radius $r$ is joined to a rod of length $l/2$ and radius $r/2$ of the same material. The free end of the small rod is fixed to a rigid base,and the free end of the larger rod is given a twist of $\theta^\circ$. The twist angle at the joint will be:

$A$ cylindrical rod of length $1 \ m$ and radius $4 \ cm$ is mounted vertically. It is subjected to a shear force of $10^5 \ N$ at the top. Considering infinitesimally small displacement in the upper edge,the angular displacement $\theta$ of the rod axis from its original position would be: (Shear modulus,$G = 10^{10} \ N/m^2$)

The ratio of lengths of two rods $A$ and $B$ of the same material is $1:2$ and the ratio of their radii is $2:1$. What is the ratio of the modulus of rigidity of $A$ and $B$ (in $:1$)?

Assume that a block of very low shear modulus is fixed on an inclined plane as shown. Due to elastic forces,it will deform. What will be the shape of the block?
