Poisson's ratio,

$\sigma  = \frac{{Iateral\,strain\left( \beta  \right)}}{{longitudinal\,strain\left( \alpha  \right)}}$

For material like copper, $\sigma  = 0.33$

$And,\,y = 3k\left( {1 - 2\sigma } \right)$

$Also,\frac{9}{y} = \frac{1}{k} + \frac{3}{n}$

$y = 2n\left( {1 + \sigma } \right)$

$Hence,n < y < k$

    A metal rod of cross-sectional area $10^{-4} \,m ^{2}$ is hanging in a chamber kept at $20^{\circ} C$ with a weight attached to its free end. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the rod is $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \,K ^{-1}$ and its Young's modulus is $4 \times 10^{12} \,N / m ^{2}$. When the temperature of the chamber is lowered to $T$, then a weight of $5000 \,N$ needs to be attached to the rod, so that its length is unchanged. Then, $T$ is ............ $^{\circ} C$
