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.
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.
let the change in height is h’.
Strain is defined as the ratio of change in height to the original height.
