Q. Elasticity: The atoms in solids are held together by interatomic forces.The average locations of the atoms in a lattice do not change with time.Since the atoms are almost lacking in mobility, their kinetic energy is negligibly small. It is this lack of mobility which makes a solid rigid. This rigidity is the cause of elasticity in solids. In some solids such as steel, the atoms are bound together by larger inter-atomic forces than in solids such as aluminum. Thus, the elastic behavior varies from solid to solid. Even fluids exhibit elasticity. All material bodies get deformed when subjected to a suitable force. The ability of a body to regain its original shape and size is called elasticity. The deforming force per unit area is called stress. The change in the dimension (length, shape or volume) divided by the original dimension is called strain. The three kinds of stress are tensile stress, shearing stress, and volumetric stress. The corresponding strains are called tensile strain, shearing strain and volume strain. According to Hooke's law, within the elastic limit, stress is proportional to strain. The ratio stress/strain is called the modulus of elasticity.
The figure shows the strain-stress graphs for materials A and B. From the graph it follows that:

Q. Assertion :A change in the temperature of a body causes change in its dimensions. Reason: The dimensions of a body decrease due to the increase in its temperature.

Q. Which of the following statements are correct?
1. Strain in the direction of applied stress is known as longitudinal strain.
2. Tensile stress results in tensile strain in linear and lateral directions.
3. Strains in all directions perpendicular to the applied stress are known as lateral strain.
4. Ratio of change in volume to original volume is known as volumetric strain.

Q. Assertion :A rigid body can be elastic. Reason: If a force is applied on the rigid body, its dimensions may change.
