The shear modulus of cartilage is 12 x 107 nm2 suppose a


Between each pair of vertebrae in the spinal column is a cylindrical disc of cartilage. Typically, this disc has a radius of about 2.9 x 10-2 m and a thickness of about 1.2 x 10-3 m. The shear modulus of cartilage is 1.2 x 107 N/m2. Suppose a shearing force of magnitude 19 N is applied parallel to the top surface of the disc while the bottom surface remains fixed in place. How far does the top surface move relative to the bottom surface?
