A vinyl [E = 2.60 GPa; ν = 0.43] block with width b = 60 mm, depth d = 120 mm, and height h = 320 mm rests on a smooth rigid base. A load P is applied to a rigid plate that rests on top of the block. Calculate the change in the depth dimension d of the block after a load of P = 160 kN is applied.

Explanation:

Formula to calculate lateral strain is as follows.

         Lateral strain =

                               =

                               =

                               =            

It is known that,

                   v =

 Lateral strain =

                        =

Thus, we can conclude that the change in the depth dimension d of the block is 0.00441 mm.

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
