An experiment was done and it was found that the bulk modulus of a material is equal to its shear modulus. Then what will be its Poissons ratio?

An experiment was done and it was found that the bulk modulus of a material is equal to its shear modulus. Then what will be its Poissons ratio? Correct Answer 0.125

We know that, μ = (3K – 2G) / (6K + 2G) Here K = G Therefore, μ = 3-2 / 6+2 = 0.125.
