A tension of is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area Young's modulus of copper is and Poisson's ratio 0.32 . The decrease in cross-sectional area will be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Young's modulus of materials
Poisson's ratio,
\begin{aligned} & \frac{\Delta A}{A}=\frac{\Delta A}{0.02}=0.32 \times \frac{\Delta l}{l} \\ & \Delta A=0.64 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~cm}^2\end{aligned}$$
