As shown in the figure,forces of $10^5\,N$ each are applied in opposite directions on the upper and lower faces of a cube of side $10\,cm$,shifting the upper face parallel to itself by $0.5\,cm$.

Two slabs with square cross-sections of different materials $(1, 2)$ have equal sides $(l)$ and thicknesses $d_1$ and $d_2$ such that $d_2 = 2d_1$ and $l > d_2$. Considering the lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor,we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is $\theta_2 = 2\theta_1$.
