$A$ square lead slab of side $50\, cm$ and thickness $10\, cm$ is subject to a shearing force (on its narrow face) of $9.0 \times 10^{4} \, N$. The lower edge is riveted to the floor. How much will the upper edge be displaced? (Given: Shear modulus of lead $G = 5.6 \times 10^{9} \, N/m^2$)

Two slabs with square cross-sections of different materials $(1, 2)$ have equal sides $(l)$ and thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ such that $d_2 = 2d_1$ and $l > d_2$. Considering the lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor,we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is $\theta_2 = 2\theta_1$. If the shear modulus of material $1$ is $4 \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$,then the shear modulus of material $2$ is $x \times 10^9 \ N/m^2$,where the value of $x$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ rectangular metallic block of dimensions $40 \text{ mm} \times 20 \text{ mm}$ when pulled with a tension of $50 \text{ kN}$ undergoes only elastic deformation. The strain in the block is (The shear modulus of the material of the block is $40 \times 10^9 \text{ Nm}^{-2}$)

The dimensions of shear modulus are

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?
