Shear Modulus: The base of a metal block, which is fixed in place, measures 90 cm by 90 cm, and the height of the block is 60 cm. A force, applied to the upper face and parallel to it, produces a shear strain of 0.0060. The shear modulus of this metal is 3.0 × 1010 Pa. The displacement of the upper face, in the direction of the applied force is closest to

A. 3.0 mm.
B. 3.6 mm.
C. 4.2 mm.
D. 4.8 mm.
E. 5.4 mm.
