A rectangular plate is 3.0 m by 10.0 m. It is fixed along the two shorter edges and one of the longer edges to a rigid wall. At 25 ºC, there is a gap of 8.0 mm between the other edge and a fourth rigid wall. The temperature of the plate is suddenly increased by 40 ºC, and is held at this temperature for 15 hours. The elastic plate has a modulus of 200 GPa, Poisson's ratio of 0.30, and a thermal expansion coefficient of 30 x 10-6 /ºC. The creep law for the material is given by where the von Mises effective stress is in MPa

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| =  14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s
