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?

  • A
    $7.56 \times 10^{-8}\; m$
  • B
    $2.23 \times 10^{-6}\; m$
  • C
    $3.92 \times 10^{-7}\; m$
  • D
    $5.56 \times 10^{-5}\; m$
