A brass block of dimensions 0.4m×0.3m×0.1m is subjected to a shearing force of 3×104N. If the shear modulus of brass is

Shear modulus: G = F/AΔx/L. Rearrange: Δx = FLAG. Area: A = 0.4×0.3 = 0.12m2, L = 0.1m. Substitute: Δx = 3×104×0.10.12×3.6×1010 = 30004.32×109≈6.94×10−7m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 6.94×10−7m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.

A copper block of dimensions 0.5m×0.3m×0.1m is subjected to a shearing force of 6×104N. If the shear modulus of copper i

Shear modulus: G = F/AΔx/L. Rearrange: Δx = FLAG. Area: A = 0.5×0.3 = 0.15m2, L = 0.1m. Substitute: Δx = 6×104×0.10.15×4.2×1010 = 60006.3×109≈9.52×10−7m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 9.52×10−7m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

An aluminium block of dimensions 0.6m×0.4m×0.2m is subjected to a shearing force of 8×104N. If the shear modulus of alum

Shear modulus: G = F/AΔx/L. Rearrange: Δx = FLAG. Area: A = 0.6×0.4 = 0.24m2, L = 0.2m. Substitute: Δx = 8×104×0.20.24×2.5×1010 = 160006×109≈2.67×10−6m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2.67×10−6m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

An aluminium block of dimensions 0.5m×0.3m×0.1m is subjected to a shearing force of 7×104N. If the shear modulus of alum

Shear modulus: G = F/AΔx/L. Rearrange: Δx = FLAG. Area: A = 0.5×0.3 = 0.15m2, L = 0.1m. Substitute: Δx = 7×104×0.10.15×2.5×1010 = 70003.75×109≈1.87×10−6m. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 1.87×10−6m. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option D is scientifically correct.
