A block of jelly is 60 mm by 60 mm by 20 mm when unstressed. A force of .

245 N is applied tangentially

to the upper surface causing a 5 mm displacement relative to the lower surface. The block is placed such
that 60X60 comes on the lower and upper surface. Find the shearing stress and shear strain.

Suspension cables are used to carry gondolas at ski resorts. Consider a suspension cable that includes an
unsupported span of 3030 m. Calculate the amount of stretch in the steel cable. Assume that the cable has
a diameter of 5.6 cm and the maximum tension it can withstand is 3.0×106N.
