A 3500 kg statue is placed on top of a cylindrical concrete ( Y = 2.3x 10 5 N/m)

Question

A 3500 kg statue is placed on top of a cylindrical concrete (Y = 2.3x 105 N/m) stand. The stand has a cross sectional area of 7.3 x 10-2 m2 and a height of 1.8 m. By how much does the statue compress the stand? Note: I changed some of the number to make the answer unrealistic. Do not worry if the answer you get seems too big.

Explanation / Answer

compression=FL/AE whereF=3500*9.81=34335 N L=1.8m A=7.3*10^-2 m^2 E=2.3*105 putting we get compression=3505.65m
