On all the six surfaces of a unit cube,an equal tensile force of $F$ is applied. The increase in length of each side will be ($Y =$ Young's modulus,$\sigma =$ Poisson's ratio).

  • A
    $\frac{F}{Y(1 - \sigma)}$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{Y(1 + \sigma)}$
  • C
    $\frac{F(1 - 2\sigma)}{Y}$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{Y(1 + 2\sigma)}$
