If the longitudinal strain of a stretched wire is \(0.2 \%\) and the Poisson's ratio of the material of the wire is 0.3, then the volume strain of the wire is

  1. A \(0.12 \%\)
  2. B \(0.08 \%\)
  3. C \(0.14 \%\)
  4. D \(0.26 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.08 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \epsilon_V = \epsilon_L (1 - 2\nu) \) \( \epsilon_V = 0.002 (1 - 2 \times 0.3) \) \( \epsilon_V = 0.002 (1 - 0.6) \) \( \epsilon_V = 0.002 \times 0.4 \) \( \epsilon_V = 0.0008 \) \( \epsilon_V = 0.08 \% \)
