You measure a brick of nickel and find it has a depth of 75.0 cm and a width of 75.0 cm. The distance from the stationary bottom and the top of the block (i.e. the height) is 91.0 cm. A shearing force, is brought to bear along the top of the brick of nickel. A shear strain of 0.00220 is experienced by the block. Nickel has a shear modulus of 3.02 x 1010 N/m2. How far did the top of the nickel brick move, relative to the bottom?

Question
You measure a brick of nickel and find it has a depth of 75.0 cm and a width of 75.0
cm. The distance from the stationary bottom and the top of the block (i.e. the height)
is 91.0 cm. A shearing force, is brought to bear along the top of the brick of nickel. A
shear strain of 0.00220 is experienced by the block. Nickel has a shear modulus of
3.02 x 1010 N/m². How far did the top of the nickel brick move, relative to the
bottom?
