Question

Why can a rigid body not deform under the influence of forces in theoretical mechanics?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

In theoretical mechanics, a rigid body is an idealization where inter-particle distances are fixed, preventing deformation and allowing focus on rotational and translational motion only. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Because it is an idealization with fixed distances. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
