13) A disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 825 N. Find its shear deformation, taking it to have a shear modulus of 1.50×109 N/m2. The disk is equivalent to a solid cylinder 0.550 cm high and 3.00 cm in diameter.

 

 

**Problem Statement:**

A disk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 825 N. Find its shear deformation, taking it to have a shear modulus of \(1.50 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2\). The disk is equivalent to a solid cylinder 0.550 cm high and 3.00 cm in diameter.

**Solution Box:**

- Shear Deformation: [Input field for answer] m

**Explanation:**

To calculate shear deformation (\(\Delta x\)) of the cylindrical disk, use the formula for shear deformation:

\[
\Delta x = \frac{F \cdot L_0}{A \cdot G}
\]

Where:
- \(F\) is the force applied (825 N)
- \(L_0\) is the original length (height) of the cylinder (0.0055 m)
- \(A\) is the cross-sectional area of the cylinder
- \(G\) is the shear modulus (\(1.50 \times 10^9 \, \text{N/m}^2\))

For a cylinder:
\[ 
A = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \left(\frac{0.03}{2}\right)^2 \, \text{m}^2 
\]
