Question

Explain the term RIGIDITY, COMPREESIBILITY, FLUIDITY.

Answer 1

Rigidity: The property of solids being stiff and resist towards stress is called rigidity. In solids – Rigidity is very high. In liquids – lower than solids but higher than gases. In gases – very low Fluidity: The physical property of a substance that enables it to flow is called fluidity. In solids – Very low In liquids – Higher than in solids but lower than in gases In gases – Very high Compressibility: The property of substance that how much the volume of a gas can be reduced by the application of force is called compressibility. In solids – Very low In liquids – lower than gases but higher than solids In gases – Very high Shape: The external form or appearance of someone or something. In solids – Posses particular shape In liquids – No particular shape but obtain the shape of container in which it present In gases – No shape
