Question

what is the difference between elastic body,plastic body and rigid body

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Elastic body:

It is the one which deforms when a force is applied on it, but restores to original configuration when force is removed.

eg. A rubber band

2) Plastic Body:

It is the one which deforms when force is applied but does not restore to original configuration.

eg. Molten plastic

3) Rigid Body:

It is the one which does not deform when force is applied on it or the deformation is negligible.

eg. Stone
