A rock specimen of 120 mm length and 54 mm diameter is subjected to uniaxial compressive loading. Two strain gauges, one axially and other radially, are attached to the specimen. At the breaking load, if these two gauges read 0.0082 m/m and 0.0023 m/m respectively, the Poisson's ratio of the specimen is
