Answer:
The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa
The shearing strain is 0.25
The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa
Explanation:
Given:
Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm
F = force = 49 N
Displacement = 10 mm
Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain, SS = ?
The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:
A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²
The shearing stress:

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

The first thing you should know to solve this problem is the conversion of pounds to kilograms:
1lb = 0.45 Kg
We can solve this problem by a simple rule of three
1lb ---> 0.45Kg
125lb ---> x
Clearing x we have:
x = ((125) / (1)) * (0.45) = 56.25 Kg.
Answer
her mass expressed in kilograms is 56.25 Kg.
The time that would be saved if the delicious chicken breast were thawed on the kitchen counter instead, given that room temperature is around 69 F could be calculated by :
tf - ti = 5.7
hope this helps
