    Hooke's Law/Poisson's Ratio and a bar

    Homework Statement A round bar of 10 mm diameter is made of aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (see figure). When the bar is stretched by axial forces P, its diameter decreases by 0.016 mm. Find the magnitude of the load P. (Obtain the material properties from Appendix H.) From Appendix H: Modulus of...
