A horizontal bar, fixed at one end (x = 0), has a length of 1 m, and cross-sectional area of 100 mm². Its elastic modulus varies along its length as given by E(x) = 100 e^-x GPa, Where x is the length coordinate (in m) along the axis of the bar. An axial tensile load of 10 kN is applied at the free end (x=1). The axial displacement of the free end is _______ mm.

A point mass of $$100$$ kg is dropped onto a massless elastic bar (cross-sectional area = $$100$$ $$mm$$² ,length = $$1$$ m, Young's modulus = $$100$$ GPa) from a height $$H$$ of $$10$$ $$mm$$ as shown (Figure is not to scale). If g = $$10$$ $$m/s$$² , the maximum compression of the elastic bar is _______ $$mm.$$

A square plate of dimension L $$ \times $$ L is subjected to a uniform pressure load P = 250 MPa on its edges as shown in the figure. Assume plane stress conditions. The Young’s modulus E = 200 GPa.

The deformed shape is a square of dimension 𝐿 − 2$$\delta .$$ If 𝐿 = 2 m and $$\delta $$ = 0.001 m, the Poisson’s ratio of the plate material is __________ .
