A cube with a side length of 10cm is made up of aluminum metal (G= 25 x 109 N/m2) A horizontal shear force of 50000 N is applied to this cube. (a) How far will the top of the cube move in the horizontal directin relative to the bottom of the cube? (b) What is the shear stress appied to the cube? (c) Calculate the shear strain on the cube.​

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
