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 __________ .

A solid steel cube constrained on all six faces is heated so that the temperature rises uniformly by $$\Delta T.$$ If the thermal coefficient of the material is $$\alpha $$, young's modulus is $$E$$ and the Poisson's ratio is $$\upsilon $$, the thermal stress developed in the cube due to heating is

A $$200$$ mm long, stress free rod at room temperature is held between two immovable rigid walls. The temperature of the rod is uniformly raised by $$250$$^oC. If the Young's modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion are $$200$$ GPa and $$1 \times {10^{ - 5}}/{}^ \circ C,$$ respectively, the magnitude of the longitudinal stress (in MPa) developed in the rod is _________
