Answer:
Volume strain is 0.02
Explanation:
Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.
It is given that,
Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³
It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³
We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,
[tex]\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02[/tex]
So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.
