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.

[tex]stress = \frac{mg}{A}\\\\stress = \frac{30000\times 9.8}{3}\\\\stress = 98000 N/m^2[/tex]

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.

[tex]Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\2.5\times 10^{10}= \frac{98000}{strain}\\\\strain = 3.92\times 10^{-6}[/tex]

let the change in height is h'.

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

[tex]3.92\times 10^{-6} = \frac{h'}{5}\\\\h' = 1.96\times 10^{-5}m = 0.0196 mm[/tex]
