Question

16. When a wire undergoes a linear tensile strain, it experiences a lateral contraction also. Th
ratio of lateral contraction to longitudinal strain is known as-
(a) Young's modulus
(b) bulk modulus
(c) poisson ratio
(d) none of the above
​

Answer 1

Answer:

your correct answer is c

given below in brief

Explanation:

Poisson's ratio is the ratio of lateral strain to axial stress. It can also be defined as the ratio of lateral contraction to longitudinal strain when force is applied
