A mild steel bar 60 mm square in section and 160 mm long is subjected to axial load of 250 kN. Half the lateral strain is prevented by the application of axial load of 250 kN. Half the lateral strain is prevented by the application of uniform external pressure of suitable intensity. If E = 200 GPa and Poisson's ratio = 0.3. Calculate the change in the length of the bar.
