The polymer bar shown in the figure below has a width of b=55b=55 mmmm, a depth of d=104d=104 mmmm, and a height of h=274h=274 mmmm.  At a compressive load of P=120P=120 kNkN, the bar height contracts by Δh=−2.60Δ⁢h=-2.60 mmmm, and the bar depth elongates by Δd=0.36Δ⁢d=0.36 mmmm.  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 bb.

The polymer bar shown in the figure below has a width of b = 55 mm, a depth of d = 104 mm, and a height of h = 274 mm. At a
compressive load of P = 120 kN, the bar height contracts by Ah = -2.60 mm, and the bar depth elongates by Ad = 0.36 mm. At
