A 2.75-kN tensile load is applied to a test coupon made from 1.6-mm flat steel plate (E = 200 GPa, ν = 0.30). Determine the resulting change in (a) the 50-mm gage length, (b) the width of portion AB of the test coupon, (c) the thickness of portion AB, (d) the cross- sectional area of portion AB.

I have attached the diagram for this question below. Consult it for better understanding.

Find the cross sectional area AB:

A = (1.6mm)(12mm) = 19.2 mm² = 19.2 × 10⁻⁶m

Forces is given by:

F = 2.75 × 10³ N

Horizontal Stress can be found by:

σ (x) = F/A

σ (x) = 2.75 × 10³ / 19.2 × 10⁻⁶m

σ (x) = 143.23 × 10⁶ Pa

Horizontal Strain can be found by:

ε (x) = σ (x)/ E

ε (x) = 143.23 × 10⁶ / 200 × 10⁹

ε (x) = 716.15 × 10⁻⁶

Find Vertical Strain:

ε (y) = -v · ε (y)

ε (y) = -(0.3)(716.15 × 10⁻⁶)

ε (y) = -214.84 × 10⁻⁶

For L = 0.05m

Change (x) = L · ε (x)

Change (x) = 35.808 × 10⁻⁶m

For W = 0.012m

Change (y) = W · ε (y)

Change (y) = -2.5781 × 10⁻⁶m

For t= 0.0016m

Change (z) = t · ε (z)

where

ε (z) = ε (y) ,so

Change (z) = t · ε (y)

Change (z) = -343.74 × 10⁻⁹m

A = A(final) - A(initial)

A = -8.25 × 10⁻⁹m²

(Consult second picture given below for understanding how to calculate area)

can you make it more obvious. i can't see it properly

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
