Practice question from Mechanical Properties of Solids (NEET Preparation Physics), with the correct answer and a step-by-step solution.
medium · MCQ · Q-5F17C6
If the Poisson's ratio of a material is , then the material is:
- A.Compressible
- B.IncompressibleCorrect answer
- C.Highly brittle
- D.Plastic
Solution
Bulk modulus is related to Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio by . If , then , making . An infinite bulk modulus means the material cannot be compressed, i.e., it is perfectly incompressible.
