Answer:
The shear modulus of the polymer is 5 MPa
Solution:
As per the question:
displacement of the top plate, d = 2 mm = 0.002 m
Horizontal Force, P = 2 kN = 2000 N
Width of the block, w = 100 mm = 0.1 m
By small angle analysis:
Angle, 
Now,
Stress,
= 

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.
