A metal slab is on top of a concrete column which has a height of 6.5 meters and a diameter of 1.50 meters. If the metal slab has a total mass of 60,500 kg, determine (a) stress, (b) strain, and (c) decrease in the height of the concrete column due to the metal slab. Assume that g = 9.8 m/s? and Young's modulus for concrete = 20 x 10° N/m?. h = 6.5 m d = 1.50 m
