$A$ steel plate of face area $1 \, cm^2$ and thickness $4 \, cm$ is fixed rigidly at the lower surface. $A$ tangential force $F = 10 \, kN$ is applied on the upper surface as shown in the figure. The lateral displacement $x$ of the upper surface with respect to the lower surface is .............. $m$ (Modulus of rigidity for steel is $8 \times 10^{11} \, N/m^2$).

The upper end of a wire of radius $4\, mm$ and length $100\, cm$ is clamped and its other end is twisted through an angle of $30^\circ$. The angle of shear is ..... $^\circ$.

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason $(R)$: $A$ coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
