Determine smallest allowable dimensions of the blocks


2 blocks of rubber with a modulus of rigidity G=12 MPa are bonded to rigid supports and to a plate AB. Knowing the c=100mm and P=45kN, determine the smallest allowable dimensions a and b of the blocks if the shearing stress in the rubber is not to exceed 1.4 MPa and the deflection of the plate is to be atleast 5 mm.
