MediumWhat is a rigid body? Explain the difference between a rigid body and a solid body.
(N/A) rigid body is defined as a system of particles in which the distance between any two particles remains invariant,regardless of the external forces applied.
$A$ rigid body has a definite shape and size that does not change under the action of external forces.
$A$ solid body is a state of matter that has a definite shape and volume,but it can be deformed (stretched,compressed,or bent) when external forces are applied.
The key difference is that a rigid body is an ideal concept where deformation is zero,whereas a solid body is a real-world object that exhibits some degree of elasticity or plasticity,meaning it can undergo deformation.
In practice,no real object is perfectly rigid; all solid bodies undergo some deformation under sufficiently large forces.

View Solution$A$ thin rod is hinged at point $O$ and is in an unstable equilibrium position. It falls under the influence of gravity due to a slight disturbance. It makes angles of $60^{\circ}$,$90^{\circ}$,and $180^{\circ}$ with the vertical in positions $(2)$,$(3)$,and $(4)$ respectively. If $\omega_2$,$\omega_3$,and $\omega_4$ are the angular velocities in these positions,then:

View SolutionTwo small balls are fixed at the ends of a light rigid rod of length $L = 0.4 \ m$. The system is released from a height $h = 5 \ m$ with the rod horizontal. The balls collide with the horizontal surface and rebound. The coefficient of restitution between ball $A$ and the ground is $e_A = 0.6$ and that between ball $B$ and the ground is $e_B = 0.4$. Find the angular speed (in $rad/s$) of the rod just after the collision. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.
