Question

Are Plastic Bodies (bodies having property of Plasticity) in physics non-rigid?
Yes or no, please explain.

CBSE, Class 11, Physics

Answer 1

Explanation:

yes they are non rigid. When we provide external force and change shape of a body if the shape of body cannot change it is rigid.

There is a limit up to where a body can regain its original configuration it is called elastic limit. After this body will only stretch but cannot gain original configuration and ultimately break.

Plastic region is the region where it out stretch and cannot regain so yes change in shape take place so non rigid
