    The increase in length of a wire on stretching is 0.025%. If its Poisson ratio is 0.4, then the percentage decrease in the diameter is:

    A)                  0.01                                      

    B)                  0.02

    C)                  0.03                                      

    D)                  0.04

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Suppose, D be the diameter of the wire Poissons ratio,                 \[\sigma =\frac{\text{lateral}\,\,\text{strain}}{\text{longitudinal }\,\text{strain}}\]                 \[\sigma =\frac{\frac{\Delta D}{D}}{\frac{\Delta L}{L}}\]                 ?(i)                 Here:  \[\frac{\Delta L}{L}=0.025%=\frac{0.025}{1000}=\frac{1}{40}\]                 and        \[\sigma =0.04\]                 Putting the given values in Eq. (i) we obtain                 \[0.4=\frac{\frac{\Delta D}{D}}{\frac{1}{40}}\]                 or            \[\frac{\Delta D}{D}=\frac{1}{40}\times 0.4=0.01%\]
