Question

In an experiment it found that the bulk modulus of a material is equal to its shear modulus. The Poisson's ratio is

• A. $0.125$
• B. $0.250$
• C. $0.375$
• D. $0.500$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.125$

$Weknowthat,\mu =\frac{3K-2G}{6K+2G}$
But here, $K=G$
$\therefore \mu =\frac{3-2}{6+2}=0.125$
