copper is 1.1  1011 Pa and for steel is 2.0  1011 Pa.
5. A rubber string 10m long is suspended from a rigid support at its one end. Calculate the extension in the
string due to its own weight. The density of rubber is 1.5  103 kg m-3 and Young’s modulus for the rubber
is 5  106 Nm-2. Take g = 10N kg-1.

of magnitude 9.0  104 N. The lower edge is riveted to the floor. How much is the upper edge displaced,
if the shear modulus of lead is 5.6  109 Pa?
9. An Indian rubber cube of side 7cm has one side fixed, while a tangential force equal to the weight of the

rubber is 2  107 dyne cm-2.
10. A 60kg motor rests on four cylindrical rubber blocks. Each cylinder has a height of 3cm and across-
sectional area of 15 cm2. The shear modulus for this rubber is 2  106 Nm-2. If a sideways force of 300N
is applied to the motor, how far will it move sideways?
