Elastic deformations

Problem 1.295

A uniform elastic plank moves over a smooth horizontal plane due to a constant force F0F_{0} distributed uniformly over the end face. The surface of the end face is equal to S,S, and Young's modulus of the material to E.E . Find the compressive strain of the plank in the direction of the acting force.
