What is a rigid body ? What is meant by
the rotation axis of a rigid body?
Answers
A rigid body, used as a model of a real is a collection of particles such that eve particle is at rest relative to all other particles. It is assumed that the relative positions of the particles in a rigid body do not change under external forces, i.e., a rigid body cannot be deformed.
There is really no such object as all objects can be deformed by applying suitable forces and so the concept of a rigid body is an ideal one. But many solid objects, such as stones, thick metal rods, etc., are good approximations of a rigid body when forces on them are not very large.
When a rigid body undergoes rotational motion, its particles move in circles. The centres of all these circles lie on a straight line. This straight line is called the rotation axis of the rigid body.

hey mate
Explanation:
RIGID BODY MEANS THE BODY WHOES PATICLES ARE RELATIVELY AT REST AND CAN NOT BE MOVED...
BUT NO BODY IS PERFECTLY RIGID IN THIS WORLD..
BUT DIAMOND IS ASSUMPED AS A RIGID BODY AS BECAUSE IT HAD VERY SIMILAR PROPERTIES AS COMPARED TO THE RIGID BODY ..
BUT STILL NO BODY IN THIS UNIVERSE IS PERFECTLY RIGID IN NATURE...

ROTATIONAL AXIS OF A RIGID BODY:-
IT IS THE AXIS OVER WHICH EVERY PARTICLE OF A BODY ROTATES IN A COMPLETE CIRCULAR MOTION...
