Questions on how solids respond to forces, covering elasticity, plasticity, and deformation. Designed to help students understand material behavior under different conditions.
Fluids lack rigidity and cannot resist shear stress without flowing. Any attempt to apply shear stress causes deformation (flow), as fluids have no fixed shape, unlike solids, which resist shear due to strong intermolecular forces.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Physics, Thermal Properties and Gravitation.
Gases have weaker intermolecular forces and larger intermolecular spaces compared to liquids, allowing them to compress significantly under pressure, while liquids’ strong forces resist volume changes. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Weaker intermolecular forces. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
