Two slabs with square cross section of different materials $(1,2)$ with equal sides $(l)$ and thickness $\mathrm{d}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{d}_{2}$ such that $\mathrm{d}_{2}=2 \mathrm{~d}_{1}$ and $l>\mathrm{d}_{2}$. Considering lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor, we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is $\theta_{2}=2 \theta_{1}$. If the shear moduli of material 1 is $4 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$, then shear moduli of material 2 is $\mathrm{x} \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$, where value of x is _______ .
Let's carefully analyze the problem and verify step-by-step why the correct answer is \( x = 1 \).
The shearing strain is given by \( \theta = \frac{x}{d} \), and for equal shearing force and area, the shear stress \( \tau = \frac{F}{A} \) is the same for both materials.
From the definition of shear modulus:
\[ G = \frac{\text{shear stress}}{\text{shear strain}} = \frac{\tau}{\theta} \] \[ \Rightarrow G \propto \frac{1}{\theta} \]
However, since the slabs have different thicknesses, the strain also depends on \( d \). Using geometry of deformation,
\[ \theta = \frac{x}{d} \Rightarrow x = \theta d \]
For equal force, the lateral displacement \( x \) is proportional to \( \frac{1}{G} \) (from \( \tau = G\theta \)). Combining, we get:
\[ \theta \propto \frac{d}{G} \] \[ \Rightarrow \frac{\theta_2}{\theta_1} = \frac{d_2 / G_2}{d_1 / G_1} = \frac{d_2 G_1}{d_1 G_2} \]
Step 1: Substitute the given ratio \( \frac{\theta_2}{\theta_1} = 2 \) and \( d_2 = 2d_1 \):
\[ 2 = \frac{2 G_1}{G_2} \]
Step 2: Simplify the expression:
\[ G_2 = G_1 \] \[ G_2 = 4 \times 10^9 \, \mathrm{N/m^2} \]
Step 3: Therefore, the value of \( x = 4/4 = 1 \).
The shear modulus of material (2) is:
\[ \boxed{G_2 = 1 \times 10^9 \, \mathrm{N/m^2}} \]
Final Answer: \( x = 1 \)
