A rectangular bar is fixed to a hard floor. Height of the bar is h and its area in contact with the floor is A. A shearing force distorts the bar as shown. Prove that the work done by the shearing force is W=(σ22η)× volume of the bar. Here σ is shear modulus of elasticity. Assume the deformation to be small.
