Transcribed Image Text:Two blocks of rubber, each 80mm long by 40mm wide by 20mm thick are bonded to
a rigid support mount and to a movable plate (1). When a force of P-2800N is
applied to the assembly, the rubber block above plate (1) deflects 8mm horizontally.
Calculate the shear modulus G of the rubber for the blocks. Remember shear
modulus is similar to Young's modulus in Hooke's law. (you come up with the
formula)
8 mm
20 mm
40 mm
20 mm
80 mm
