A point mass of $$100$$ kg is dropped onto a massless elastic bar (cross-sectional area = $$100$$ $$mm$$² ,length = $$1$$ m, Young's modulus = $$100$$ GPa) from a height $$H$$ of $$10$$ $$mm$$ as shown (Figure is not to scale). If g = $$10$$ $$m/s$$² , the maximum compression of the elastic bar is _______ $$mm.$$

A hypothetical engineering stress-strain curve shown in the figure has three straight lines PQ, QR, RS with coordinates P(0,0), Q(0.2,100), R(0.6,140) and S(0.8,130). 'Q' is the yield point, 'R' is the UTS point and 'S' the fracture point.

The tougness of the material (in MJ/m³) is __________.
