5. An elastomeric bearing pad consisting of two steel plates bonded to a chloroprene elastomer (an artificial rubber) is subjected to a shear force V during a static loading test. The pad has a dimension a =125mm and b=240mm, and the elastomer has a thickness t=50mm. When the force V equals 12 kN, the top plate is found to have displaced laterally 8.0 mm with respect to the bottom plate. What is the shear modulus of elasticity G of the chloroprene? V - b finge
