-7.35 in. 8 in. 2. To test for the properties of an elastomeric bearing pad, the pad is placed between two steel plates and loaded in shear as shown in the figure below. When a shear force is equal to 12kN, the top plate is measured to displace 8.0 mm laterally with respect to the bottom plate. What is the shear modulus (G) of the elastomeric bearing pad given: a = 125mm, b = 240mm and t = 50mm? b
