The increase in the length of a wire on stretching is 0.04%. If Poisson's ratio for the material of wire is 0.5, then the diameter of the wire will:

1. decrease by 0.02%. 2. decrease by 0.01%.
3. decrease by 0.04%. 4. increase by 0.03%.

The Poisson's ratio of a material is 0.4. If a force is applied to a wire of this material, there is a decrease in the cross-section area by 2%. In such a case the percentage increase in its length will be:

1. 3% 2. 2.5%
3. 1% 4. 0.5%
