The edge of aluminium tube is 10cm long. One face of the cube is firmly fixed to a verticle wall a mass of 100kg ,is then attached to the opposite face of cube. The shear modulus of aluminium is 25 GPa. What is the vertical deflection of this face?

Assume, Deflection =D
Side Length =L=10cm
Shear Modulus =S=25GPa
P=Applied pressure =Weight/Area= ( 1 0 0 × 9 . 8 ) / ( 1 0 × 1 0 − 2 ) 2 Pa
So, Deflection, D= S P L
= 3 . 9 2 × 1 0 − 7 m
So simple, isn't it!
