We know that Young's Modulus is the ratio of stress and strain. But, for a perfectly rigid body, the strain is zero, since there are no change in dimensions. Hence, for a perfectly rigid body, the Young's Modulus is undefined. Stress/Strain=Stress/0=undefined (For a perfectly rigid body).

Infinite.because there will be no strain for a perfectly rigid body.so stress/strain equals young module.here strain /zero ,any value decided by zero is infinite.hope u clear the idea.

If the body is perfectly rigid, then strain would be zero whatever the stress & it's not a practical thing ( to be a perfectly rigid body). so, E=stress/strain E= stress/0, therefore we can say the value of E would be infinite for the perfectly rigid body.

we know that young modulus =Stress/strain and A rigid body is defined as one manifesting zero strain regardless of applied stress so Y=stress/0 Y= infinite (because any number devived by zero is infinite, 1/0= infinite)

Resultant force F= sqrt (16^2+12^2) => F=20N So F=ma => a=F/m=20/200 => a=0.1 ms-2

If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body?
The magnitude of velocity shall decrease and direction shall be same till it comes to rest, afterwards it shall move in direction of force with acceleration due to the applied force.

Suppose some electricity is flowing through a long straight wire without any insulating coating that gives an electric shock to a person at rest relative to the wire on touching it. Is there a speed with which if the person runs along the wire in the direction of current flowing such that he/she does not experience any shock?
It is an excellent, thought-provoking question! Suppose a person runs along the direction of electron motion with the same speed of an electron. Then for him, electrons are at rest means zero current in...

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?
According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.
