### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Definition of Poisson's Ratio**: Poisson's ratio (denoted as \( \mu \)) is defined as the ratio of the lateral strain to the longitudinal strain when a material is deformed elastically. 2. **Understanding Strains**: - **Longitudinal Strain (\( E_{longitudinal} \))**: This is the change in length per unit original length when the material is stretched. It can be expressed as: \[ ...
