$A$ copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.01 \,cm^2$ is under a tension of $22 \,N$. The decrease in the cross-sectional area is (Young modulus $= 1.1 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, Poisson's ratio $= 0.32$)

  • A
    $0.128 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • B
    $128 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • C
    $12.8 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • D
    $1.28 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
