Q31
What is the Poisson�s ratio of a rock?
A.
Ratio of axial to lateral strain
B.
Ratio of lateral to axial strain
AnswerC.
Ratio of stress to strain
D.
Ratio of force to area
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Poisson�s ratio is defined as the ratio of lateral strain to axial strain in a material subjected to uniaxial loading.It typically ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 for rocks.
