Question
A force is applied on (i) a non-rigid body and (ii) a rigid body. How does the effect of the force differ in the above two cases?
Solution
When force is applied on a non-rigid body it undergoes deformation i.e. change in size, shape, and position whereas a rigid body doesn’t undergo a change in shape, position, and size.
