Transcribed Image Text:The polymer bar shown in the figure below has a width of b = 59 mm, a depth of d = 96 mm, and a height of h = 286 mm. At a
compressive load of P = 150 kN, the bar height contracts by Ah = -2.40 mm, and the bar depth elongates by Ad = 0.37 mm. At
this load, the stress in the polymer bar is less than its proportional limit. Determine:
(a) the modulus of elasticity.
(b) Poisson's ratio.
(c) the change in the bar width b.
