A brass block of dimensions 0.5m×0.3m×0.2m is subjected to a shearing force of 6×104N. If the shear modulus of brass is

Shear modulus: G = F/AΔx/L. Rearrange: Δx = FLAG. Area: A = 0.5×0.3 = 0.15m2, L = 0.2m. Substitute: Δx = 6×104×0.20.15×3.6×1010 = 120005.4×109≈2.22×10−6m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2.22×10−6m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
