A cylindrical specimen of some metal alloy 10.0 mm (0.3937 in.) in diameter is stressed elastically in tension. A force of 15500 N (3485 lbf) produces a reduction in specimen diameter of 9 × 10-3 mm (3.543 × 10-4 in.). Compute Poisson's ratio for this material if its elastic modulus is 100 GPa (14.5 × 106 psi).
