![### Understanding Stress and Strain in a Polymer Bar
#### Problem Statement:
The polymer bar shown in the figure below has a width of \( b = 58 \, \text{mm} \), a depth of \( d = 92 \, \text{mm} \), and a height of \( h = 282 \, \text{mm} \). At a compressive load of \( P = 120 \, \text{kN} \), the bar height contracts by \( \Delta h = -2.30 \, \text{mm} \), and the bar depth elongates by \( \Delta d = 0.39 \, \text{mm} \). At this load, the stress in the polymer bar is less than its proportional limit. Determine:
(a) The modulus of elasticity, \( E \).
(b) Poisson’s ratio, \( \nu \).
(c) The change in the bar width \( b \).
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram provided shows a polymer bar positioned vertically, with the following labels:
- **Rigid Plate**: A plate applies a compressive load \( P \) on the top face of the bar.
- **b**: The width of the bar at the face parallel to the direction of the load.
- **d**: The depth of the bar at the face perpendicular to the direction of the load.
- **h**: The height of the bar, which is the distance between the rigid plate (top) and the rigid base (bottom).
The load \( P \) is applied downwards, leading to changes in dimensions due to compression: height decreases by \( \Delta h \) and depth increases by \( \Delta d \).
#### Calculation Inputs:
- Apply the concepts of stress (\( \sigma \)) and strain (\( \epsilon \)) to determine the modulus of elasticity (\( E \)) and Poisson’s ratio (\( \nu \)).
- Assess the change in bar width \( b \) due to the applied load.
#### Input Fields:
(a) \( E = \) [Input Box] GPa
(b) \( \nu = \) [Input Box]
(c) \( \Delta b = \) [Input Box] mm
#### Steps to Solve:
1. **Calculate the stress in the bar**:
\[
\sigma = \frac{P}{A}
\]
where \( A = b \](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8209b3d5-f39b-4753-8582-d28823046294%2F1be385e3-8b57-4950-a3df-c658cb48a506%2Fbdq4nil_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
