The dimensions of a rectangular block of brass (Young's modulus 9.0x1010 N/m², shear modulus 3.5x1010 N/m²) are 0.013 m, 0.027 m, and 0.041 m. The block is to be glued to a table and subjected to a horizontal force of 740 N, as shown in the figure. Note that there are three possible choices for the surface of the block that is in contact with the table. What is the maximum possible distance the top surface can move, relative to the bottom surface?
