Is a real steel bar perfectly rigid?
AYes, in every case
BNo, it deforms under force
CYes, below 100 degrees C
DOnly when it is hollow
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. No, it deforms under force
Even a hard steel bar deforms when a sufficiently large external force acts, so solids are not perfectly rigid.
