Young's modulus for perfectly rigid body is

  1. A zero
  2. B infinite
  3. C \(1 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(10 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) infinite

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In perfectly rigid body, there is no change in its dimensions on applying a deforming force, therefore strain in the perfectly rigid body is zero. \(\therefore\) Young's modulus \(=\frac{\text { Stress }}{\text { Strain }}=\frac{\text { Stress }}{0}=\infty\) Therefore, Young's…
