Question

Ideally a rigid body is-

• B. on applying force the distance between two point does not change.
• C. both of them
• D. none of them

Answer 1

The correct option is B on applying force the distance between two point does not change.

A body is said to be a rigid body if the body remains in its original shape even under the influence of external force. We can also say that if distance between two points of the body does not change on applying a force, then the body is said to be a rigid body.
