Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: The stretching of a spring is determined by the shear modulus of the material of the spring.
Reason $(R)$: $A$ coil spring of copper has more tensile strength than a steel spring of same dimensions.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • B
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false
  • C
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$

The edge of an aluminium cube is $10\; cm$ long. One face of the cube is firmly fixed to a vertical wall. $A$ mass of $100\; kg$ is then attached to the opposite face of the cube. The shear modulus of aluminium is $25\; GPa$. What is the vertical deflection of this face?

$A$ horizontal aluminium rod of diameter $4 \text{ cm}$ projects $6 \text{ cm}$ from a wall. An object of mass $400 \pi \text{ kg}$ is suspended from the end of the rod. The shearing modulus of aluminium is $3.0 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2$. The vertical deflection of the end of the rod is (given $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$): (in $\text{ mm}$)

$A$ force $F$ of the same magnitude is applied tangentially on the upper and lower faces of a cube in opposite directions. The side of the cube is $L$. The upper face of the cube shifts parallel to itself by a distance $x_{1}$. If another cube of the same material but with side $2L$ is subjected to the same condition,then the displacement of the top layer is:
