Answer:

The given statement "A negative normal strain can be considered to increase or decrease volume depending on coordinate system used" is

b) False

Explanation:

Normal strain refers to the strain due to normal stress which is when the applied stress is perpendicular to the surface.

Negative normal strain results in compression or contraction further leading to a decrease in volume while a positive normal strain results in elongation thus giving rise to an increase in volume.
