COMEDK · Physics · 10. Mechanical Properties of Solids

The Poisson's ratio of a material is \(0.1\). If the longitudinal strain of a rod of this material is \(10^{-3}\), then the percentage change in the volume of the rod will be

  1. A \(0.008 \%\)
  2. B \(0.08 \%\)
  3. C \(0.8 \%\)
  4. D \(8 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.08 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) be the longitudinal strain and lateral strain respectively, then \(\alpha=\frac{l_{2}-l_{1}}{l_{1}}=10^{-3}=0.001\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{l_{2}}{l_{1}}=1.001\) Poisson's ratio,…
