In comparing the ptolemaic system to the copernican system, neither is entirely correct since ptolemy said the earth was at the center and copernicus said the planets had circular orbits.

Determine the change in width a, height b, thickness t when a plate is subjected to the uniform distributed load and is made of material having modulus of elasticity e=230 gpa and poisson's ratio ν=1/3. given : a=400 mm and b= 300 mm also the uniformly distributed load in downward y direction of plate is 2 mn/m and in the positive x direction is 3 mn/m and t=20 mm
