Poisson's ratio is the ratio of which two strains?
AShear over volume strain
BLongitudinal to lateral
CVolume to longitudinal
DLateral to longitudinal
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Lateral to longitudinal
Poisson's ratio is the lateral strain divided by the longitudinal strain in a stretched wire.
