Question
A block of Jell-O is resting on a plate. The Jell-O stands 0.03 m tall and in the shape of a square that is 0.07 m in length. You are bored, waiting for dinner and push tangentially across the top surface with a force of 0.45 N. The top surface moves a distance of ∆x = 6.0 x 10^-3 m relative to the bottom surface. What is the shear modulus of Jell-O?
