For a given material, the Young's modulus is 2.4 times its modulus of rigidity. Its Poisson's ratio is

physics properties of material substances poisson ratio poisson's ratio elastic energy

  1. $0.2$

  2. $0.4$

  3. $1.2$

  4. $2.4$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Y = 2\eta \left( {1 + \sigma } \right)$

But $Y = 2.4\eta $
$\therefore 2.4\eta  = 2\eta \left( {1 + \sigma } \right)$
$\left( {1 + \sigma } \right) = 1.2$
$\sigma  = 0.2$
Hence,
option $(A)$ is correct answer.

  1. 1

  2. 0.25

  3. 0.5

  4. 0.75

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$V = \pi {r^2}I$

$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = \frac{{\Delta \left( {\pi {r^2}I} \right)}}{{\pi {r^2}I}}$
$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = \frac{{{r^2}\Delta I + 2rI\Delta r}}{{{r^2}I}}$
$\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = \frac{{\Delta I}}{I} + \frac{{2\Delta r}}{r}$
But $\frac{{\Delta V}}{V} = 0$
therefore$,$ $\frac{{\Delta I}}{I} = \frac{{ - 2\Delta r}}{r}$
Now$,$ Poisson's ratio$,$ $\sigma  = \frac{{\frac{{ - \Delta r}}{r}}}{{\frac{{\Delta I}}{I}}}$-------------------$(1)$
from equation $(1),$
$\sigma  =  - \left( {\frac{{\frac{{\Delta r}}{r}}}{{\frac{{ - 2\Delta r}}{r}}}} \right) = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
Hence,
option $(C)$ is correct answer.

The ratio of change in dimension at right angles to applied force to the initial dimension is defined as

physics properties of material substances poisson ratio poisson's ratio elastic energy

  1. $Y$

  2. $\eta$

  3. $\beta$

  4. $K$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is a factual question. The ratio is labelled $\beta$.

Which of the following pairs is not correct?

physics properties of material substances poisson ratio poisson's ratio elastic energy

  1. strain-dimensionless

  2. stress-$N/m^{2}$

  3. modulus of elasticity-$N/m^{2}$

  4. poisson's ratio-$N/m^{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

stress is $\dfrac{F}{A}$ hence unit $N/m^2$

strain is $\dfrac{\Delta l}{L}$ so unit $m/m$ therefore dimensionless
modulus of elasticity is $ \dfrac{stress}{strain}$ hence same unit  as stress as the denominator is dimensionless
poisson's ratio $\dfrac{-\epsilon _t}{\epsilon _l} $ so its also going to be dimensionless

For which value of Poisson's ratio the volume of a wire does not change when it is subjected to a tension?

Correct Option: A

The relationship between Y, $\eta$ and $\sigma$ is

physics properties of material substances poisson ratio poisson's ratio elastic energy

  1. $Y=2\eta(1+\sigma)$

  2. $\eta=2Y(1+\sigma)$

  3. $\displaystyle \sigma=\frac{2Y}{(1+\eta)}$

  4. $Y=\eta(1+\sigma)$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

By using stress relations on unit solid element, this relation can be derived:
$\eta \quad =\quad \dfrac { Y }{ 2(1+\sigma ) } \ Thus,\quad Y=2\eta (1+\sigma )$

Poisson's ratio can not have the value:
