there is no change in volume of a wire due to change in its length on stretching. what is the Poisson Ratio of the material. Answer this please.

Poission's Ratio is defned as the ratio of lateral strain to the longitudinal strain

where

Lateral strain: ratio of change in radius or diameter to original radius

Longitudinal strain : Ratio of change in length to original length 

σ=lateral strain/longitudinal strain = -(dr/r)/dL/L

here negative sign indicates that the radius of the bar dereases when it is stretched.
Volume of wire =πr²l
but r=D/2
V=π(D/2)² l
=πD² l/4 -------- equation 1

differentiating equation 1

dV=πl/4 .2D.dD + πD²x 1/4 dl

As volume remains constant we get:

0=πl/2D.dD+π D²/4d

-π1/2DdD=πD²/4dl

σ=-(dD/D )l/dl=2/4 =0.5

∴Poisson Ratio of the material is 0.5
