A plastic cube with a 100mm * 100mm * 100mm is placed in a pressure chamber and subjected to a pressure of 100MPa. If the modulus of elasticity is 7GPa and Poisson’s ratio is 0.39, what will be the decrease in each side of the block, assuming that the material remains within the linear elastic region? What will be the decrease in the volume of the cube?
