(N/A) The Young's modulus of a rigid body is infinite. Since there is no strain in a rigid body,$Y = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \frac{\text{stress}}{0} = \infty$.
$(b)$ Given: $\frac{\Delta l}{l} = 10^{-6}$ and $\text{stress} = 10^8 \ N/m^2$.
Using the formula $Y = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \frac{10^8}{10^{-6}} = 10^{14} \ N/m^2$.
$(c)$ The value of Poisson's ratio for steel typically ranges from $0.28$ to $0.30$.
