Question: A steel plate with a rectangular cross section ( 1 0 m m 5 0 m m ) is resting on a frictionless surface under

A steel plate with a rectangular cross section (10mm50mm) is resting on a frictionless surface under the sun. The plate temperature is measured to be at 80C and a length of 4m. The plate is then moved into a cold room and is left to rest on a frictionless surface. After several hours, the plate temperature is measured to be at 5C The steel has a yield and tensile strength of 250 and 400 MPa respectively, a modulus of elasticity equal to 200GPa and a coefficient of thermal expansion equal to 1.110-5mm??C.
