The values of Young's and bulk modulus of elasticity of a material are `8 xx 10^(10) N//m^(2)` ' and `10xx10^(10)` N/m respectively. The value of Poisson's ratio for the material will be

A

`0.25 `

B

`-0.25`

C

`0.37`

D

`-0.37`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Y = 3K ( 1-2 sigma) implies 8xx 10^(10) = 3xx10^(10) (1-2 sigma ) implies sigma = 0.37`
