A steel bar of 20mm x 20mm square cross-section is subjected to an axial compressive load of 100kN. If the length of the bar is 1m and E=200GPa, then what will be the elongation of the bar?

A steel bar of 20mm x 20mm square cross-section is subjected to an axial compressive load of 100kN. If the length of the bar is 1m and E=200GPa, then what will be the elongation of the bar? Correct Answer 1.25mm

Elongation in bar = PL/ AE = (100x1000x1) / (0.2×0.2x200x106) = 1.25mm.
