(c) Poisson's ratio v describes how much a rod will become thinner as it is stretched out, and can take values between O and y. Use these two values to show that torsional waves in a circular rod can travel between about 58% and 71% of the speed of a longitudinal wave along a thin rod of the same material, depending on the value of Poisson's ratio.
