A material has Poisson's ratio 0.50. If a uniform rod of it suffers a longitudinal strain of 2×10−3, then the percentage change in volume is
(A)0.6(B)0.4(C)0.2(D)0
Solution
The volumetric strain is defined as that the unit change in volume, i.e. the change in volume divided by the first or initial volume. The Poisson effect, that describes the expansion or contraction of an object or material in directions perpendicular to the direction of loading. the worth of Poisson's ratio is the negative of the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
Formula used: Poisson’s Ratio:
σ=−(LdL)(rdr)
Where:
r- radius of rod
L- length of rod
Complete step-by-step solution:
As the longitudinal strain is given in question
LdL=2×10−3
Poisson's ratio, σ=−(LdL)(rdr)
