The longitudinal strain of a string equals twice the magnitude of its lateral strain. What is Poisson's ratio of the material of the string?
1. \(0.4\)
2. \(0.5\)
3. \(0.1\)
4. \(0.2\)
| 1. | \(4 \times 10^{-2} \) | 2. | \(1 \times 10^{-2} \) |
| 3. | \(2 \times 10^{-2} \) | 4. | \(3 \times 10^{-2} \) |
