Chapter 1, Problem 1.11QP
The rectangular block shown in Figure P1.11 is subjected to tension within the elastic range. The increase in the length of a is 2 × 10–3 in. and the contraction of b is 3.25 × 10–4 in. If the original lengths of a and b were 2 in. and 1 in., respectively, what is Poisson’s ratio for the material of the specimen?
