Homework Statement

: A cylinder is elongated by 2% of its original length. If Poisson's ratio of its material is 0.3. Calculate the percentage variation in volume.[/B]

Homework Equations


V = πr^2l
η= 0.3= Δl/l/Δr/r[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using calculus to differentiate V to find change in volume and then divided it by the given volume but could not find and answer as r^2 was left.
