A square steel bar has a length of 9.7 ft and a 2.9 in by 2.9 in cross section and is subjected to axial tension. The final length is 9.70710 ft . The final side length is 2.89933 in . What is Poisson's ratio for the material? Express your answer to three significant figures.

Who was the first scientist to measure speed as distance over time?

Acertain radio station broadcasts radio waves that have a wavelength of 298cm what is its broadcast frequency?

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
