Answer:
stress = 98000 N/m^2
strain = 3.92 x 10^-6
change in height = 0.0196 mm
Explanation:
Height, h = 5 m
Area, A = 3 m²
mass, m = 30000 kg
Stress is defined as the force per unit area.
[tex]stress = \frac{mg}{A}\\\\stress = \frac{30000\times 9.8}{3}\\\\stress = 98000 N/m^2[/tex]
Young's modulus of concrete is Y = 2.5 x 10^10 N/m^2
Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to the strain.
[tex]Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\2.5\times 10^{10}= \frac{98000}{strain}\\\\strain = 3.92\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
let the change in height is h'.
Strain is defined as the ratio of change in height to the original height.
[tex]3.92\times 10^{-6} = \frac{h'}{5}\\\\h' = 1.96\times 10^{-5}m = 0.0196 mm[/tex]
