Elastic deformations

Problem 1.295

A uniform elastic plank moves over a smooth horizontal plane due to a constant force \(F_{0}\) distributed uniformly over the end face. The surface of the end face is equal to \(S,\) and Young's modulus of the material to \(E .\) Find the compressive strain of the plank in the direction of the acting force.
