EasyWhat is a rigid body? Explain the concept of a rigid body.
(N/A) rigid body is defined as a system of particles in which the distance between any two particles remains constant,regardless of the external forces applied to it.
$1$. In a rigid body,the relative positions of all constituent particles do not change over time.
$2$. While a rigid body is an idealization (a theoretical concept),real-world objects like steel beams or wheels can be approximated as rigid bodies for many practical purposes.
$3$. Unlike a deformable solid,a rigid body cannot be compressed,stretched,or twisted.
$4$. Examples include a spinning wheel,a top,or a steel beam. In many mechanical problems,we ignore small deformations,vibrations,or bending to treat these objects as rigid bodies.

When released from rest, the heavier mass is observed to fall $81 \ cm$ in $9 \ s$. The rotational inertia of the pulley is . . . . . . $kg \cdot m^2$. $(g = 9.8 \ m/s^2)$
$A$ rod of length $l$ and mass $m$ lies on a fixed horizontal smooth table. $A$ cord is led through a pulley,and its horizontal part is attached to one end of the rod,while its vertical part is attached to a block of mass $m_1$. Assume the pulley and the cord are ideal. The maximum possible acceleration of the rod's centre of mass $C$ (for all possible values of masses $m$ and $m_1$) at the moment of releasing the block $m_1$ is $\frac{g}{n}$. Find the value of $n$.
