Solution Summary

The expert finds the force and change in height and amount of shear deformation. A step by step solution provided.

Solution Preview

F=2300 N Fsinθ = 2300xsin29O = 1115 N

Θ=29O
Fcosθ = 2300xcos29O
=2012 N l = 0.06m, b = 0.05m, h = 0.02m

Force F can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components, Fcosθ and Fsinθ respectively.

The vertical component causes compression of the lead brick and the horizontal ...
