A rectangular block of size $10\,cm \times 8\,cm \times 5\,cm$ is kept in three different positions $P, Q$ and $R$ in turn as shown in the figure. In each case, the shaded area is rigidly fixed and a definite force $F$ is applied tangentially to the opposite face to deform the block. The displacement of the upper face will be
