3 m long copper wire is stretched to increase its length by 0.3 cm. The lateral strain produced in the wire is,A. `0.26xx10^(-2)`B. `0.26xx10^(-3)`C. `0.26 xx10^(-4)`D. `0.26xx10^(-5)` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B `sigma=("Lateral strain")/("Longitudinal strain")` `therefore " Lateral strain"=sigma xx "Longitudinal strain" ` `=0.26 xx (0.3)/(300) = 0.26 xx 10^(-3)` |
