Question

Transcribed Image Text:2. A steel bar, whose cross section is 0.55 inch by 4.05 inches, was tested in
tension. An axial load of P = 30,500 lb. produced a deformation of 0.105 inch over
a gauge length of 2.05 inches and a decrease of 0.0075 inch in the 0.55-inch
thickness of the bar.
Determine the lateral strain. *
Your answer
