A25 - kg television set rests on four rubber pads , each having a height of 1 . 0 cm and a radius of 0 . 60 cm . a 200 - n horizontal force is applied to the television set . how far does it move sideways ? the shear modulus of rubber is 2 . 6 x 106 n / m2

Thus it moves 1.7 mm sideways

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the television, m = 25 kg

Height of the rubber pads, h = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m

Radius, R = 0.60 cm = 0.006 m

Horizontal force, F = 200 N

Shear Modulus of Rubber, G =

Now,

To calculate the distance moved:

G =

G =

where

= distance moved

Area of 4 rubber pads, A =

Now,

where is the
