A steel bar of circular cross section, 50 mm in diameter, is compressed along its longitudinal direction by a force of 2000 kN. (a) Do the cross sectional dimensions increase or decrease? (b) Calculate the resulting diameter for the cross section. Young's Modulus E = 200 GPa, and Poisson's ratio v = 0.3.
