Question 42
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
A square plate O-P-Q-R of a linear elastic material with sides 1.0 m is loaded in a state of plane stress. Under a given stress condition, the plate deforms to a new configuration O′-P′-Q′-R′ as shown in the figure (not to scale). Under the given deformation, the edges of the plate remain straight.

The horizontal displacement of the point (0.5 m, 0.5 m) in the plate O-P-Q-R (in mm, round off to one decimal place) is
