$A$ tension of $22 \,N$ is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.02 \,cm^2$. Young's modulus of copper is $1.1 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and Poisson's ratio is $0.32$. The decrease in cross-sectional area will be:

  • A
    $1.28 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • B
    $1.6 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • C
    $2.56 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • D
    $0.64 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$

$A$ steel wire of length $2 \ m$ and Young's modulus $2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ is stretched by a force. If Poisson's ratio and transverse strain for the wire are $0.2$ and $10^{-3}$ respectively,then the elastic potential energy density of the wire is . . . . . . $\times 10^5 \ J/m^3$.

If there is no change in the volume of a wire upon stretching,then the Poisson's ratio for the material of the wire is:
