Question: A thin rectangular polycarbonate plate of width w = 3 0 0 m m and height h = 2 0 0 m m is heated

A thin rectangular polycarbonate plate of width w=300mm and height h=200mm is heated from an initial temperature 20C to 110C. The polycarbonate is considered as an isotropic material with a linear expansion coefficient of =7*10-5C and Young's modulus E=3.2GPa
a. Evaluate the new area after the plate is heated. How much does the area calculation will differ if you consider A=Ao?
is an area expansion coefficient and can be approximated as ~~2,
A is the new area after the heating
Ao is the given initial area.
