$A$ tension of $20 \,N$ is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.01 \,cm^2$. The Young's modulus of copper is $1.1 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and the Poisson's ratio is $0.32$. The decrease in the cross-sectional area of the wire is:

  • A
    $1.16 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • B
    $1.16 \times 10^{-5} \,m^2$
  • C
    $1.16 \times 10^{-4} \,m^2$
  • D
    $1.16 \times 10^{-3} \,cm^2$

$A$ copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.01 \ cm^2$ is under a tension of $22 \ N$. Find the percentage change in the cross-sectional area (Young's modulus of copper $= 1.1 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$ and Poisson ratio $= 0.32$).

If $Y, K$ and $\eta$ are the values of Young's modulus,bulk modulus,and modulus of rigidity of any material respectively,choose the correct relation for these parameters.

For silver,Young's modulus is $7.25 \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2$ and Bulk modulus is $11 \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2$. Its Poisson's ratio will be
