Young’s modulus of perfectly rigid body material is

A

Zero

B

Infinity

C

${\rm{1}} \times {\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{10}}}}\,N/{m^2}$

D

${\rm{10}} \times {\rm{1}}{{\rm{0}}^{{\rm{10}}}}\,N/{m^2}$

Solution

(b) From Hooke's law, Young modulus $Y=\frac{S t r e s s}{S t r a i n}$

The Strain produced in a perfectly rigid body is zero i.e Strain$=0$

$\therefore Y=\frac{S t r e s s}{0} \quad \Longrightarrow Y=\infty$

Thus the Young's modulus of perfectly rigid body material is infinite.
