JEE Main 2025 — 4 April, Morning Shift — Question 67

Two slabs with square cross section of different materials (1,2)(1,2) with equal sides (I)(I) and thickness d1d_{1}

and d2d_{2} such that d2=2d1d_{2}=2 d_{1} and l>d2l>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

θ2=2θ1\theta_{2}=2 \theta_{1}. If the shear moduli of material 1 is 4×109 N/m24 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}, then shear moduli of material 2 is x×109 N/m2x \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2},

where value of xx is \qquad

Answer: 1

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

FA1=4×109θ1\begin{gathered} \frac{F}{A_{1}}=4 \times 10^{9} \theta_{1} \end{gathered}

FA2=x×109×\frac{F}{A_{2}}=x \times 10^{9} \times

Fℓd1=4×109θ1\frac{F}{\ell d_{1}}=4 \times 10^{9} \theta_{1}

F2ℓd1=x×109×2θ1\frac{F}{2 \ell d_{1}}=x \times 10^{9} \times 2 \theta_{1}

x=1x=1
