    If longitudinal strain for a wire is 0.03 and its Poisson?s ratio is 0.5, then its lateral strain is :

    A)  0.003                                   

    B)  0.0075

    C)  0.015                                   

    D)  0.4

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Poisson s ratio\[\sigma =\frac{lateral\text{ }strain}{longitudinal\text{ }strain}\] Given,\[\sigma =0.5,\]longitudinal strain = 0.03 \[\therefore \]  Lateral strain\[=0.5\times 0.03\] Lateral strain = 0.015
