$A$ metal wire having Poisson's ratio $1/4$ and Young's modulus $8 \times 10^{10} \, N/m^2$ is stretched by a force,which produces a lateral strain of $0.02 \%$ in it. The elastic potential energy stored per unit volume in the wire is [in $J/m^3$]

If there is no change in the volume of a wire upon stretching,then the Poisson's ratio for the material of the wire is:
