Extracted text: SITUATION 21 A rectangular steel block is 300 mm in the x direction, 200 mm in the y direction, and 150mm in the z direction. The block is subjected to a triaxial loading consisting of three uniformly distributed forces as follows: 250KN tension in x direction, 320 kN compression in the y direction, and 180 kN tension in the z direction. For Steel, Poisson's Ratios = 0.30 and E=200 GPa. 4. Determine the total strain in x direction due to the triaxial loading 5. What single uniformly distributed load in the x direction that would produce the same deformation in the x direction as the original loading.
