Shear Modulus & Poisson's Ratio · Shear modulus

Two slabs with square cross section of different materials (1,2)(1, 2) with equal sides (l)(l) and thickness d1d_1 and d2d_2 such that d2=2d1d_2 = 2d_1 and l>d2l > d_2. Considering lower edges of these slabs are fixed to the floor, we apply equal shearing force on the narrow faces. The angle of deformation is θ2=2θ1\theta_2 = 2\theta_1. If the shear moduli of material 1 is 4×109 N/m24 \times 10^{9}\text{ N/m}^2, then shear moduli of material 2 is x×109 N/m2x \times 10^{9}\text{ N/m}^2, where value of xx is ________.
