Adisk between vertebrae in the spine is subjected to a shearing force of 425 n. find its shear deformation, taking it to have a shear modulus of 1.70×10^9 n/m^2. the disk is equivalent to a solid cylinder 0.700 cm high and 6.50 cm in diameter. a) 5.27 x 10^-7 m
b) 1.54 x 10^-6 m
c) 3.08 x 10^-6 m
d) 6.16 x 10^-6 m

option A

Explanation:

given,

shear force = 425 N

Shear modulus = 1.7 × 10⁹ N/m²

disk equivalent to solid cylinder

height = 0.7 cm  and diameter = 6.50 cm

hence, the correct answer is option A

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .
