The block is subjected to a triaxial loading of three resultant forces as follows: 72 kips compression in the x direction, 60 kips tension in the y direction, and 56 kips tension in the z direction. If ν = 1/3 and E = 29 x 106 psi, ( a ) determine the single resultant load in the z direction that would produce the same deformation in x direction as the original loadings.
