8.Mechanical Properties of Solids

On all the six surfaces of a unit cube, equal tensile force of $F$ is applied. The increase in length of each side will be ($Y =$ Young's modulus, $\sigma $= Poission's ratio)
A
$\frac{F}{{Y(1 - \sigma )}}$
B
$\frac{F}{{Y(1 + \sigma )}}$
C
$\frac{{F(1 - 2\sigma )}}{Y}$
D
$\frac{F}{{Y(1 + 2\sigma )}}$
Solution
(c) Tensile strain on each face$ = \frac{F}{Y}$
Lateral strain due to the other two forces acting on perpendicular faces$ = \frac{{ – 2\sigma F}}{Y}$
Total increase in length $ = (1 – 2\sigma )\frac{F}{Y}$
