EasyWhat is a rigid body? Explain the concept of a rigid body.
(N/A) rigid body is defined as a system of particles in which the distance between any two particles remains constant,regardless of the external forces applied to it.
$1$. In a rigid body,the relative positions of all constituent particles do not change over time.
$2$. While a rigid body is an idealization (a theoretical concept),real-world objects like steel beams or wheels can be approximated as rigid bodies for many practical purposes.
$3$. Unlike a deformable solid,a rigid body cannot be compressed,stretched,or twisted.
$4$. Examples include a spinning wheel,a top,or a steel beam. In many mechanical problems,we ignore small deformations,vibrations,or bending to treat these objects as rigid bodies.

View Solution$A$ ladder of length $L$ is slipping with its ends against a vertical wall and a horizontal floor. At a certain moment,the speed of the end in contact with the horizontal floor is $v$ and the ladder makes an angle $\alpha = 30^o$ with the horizontal. If $dv/dt = 0$,then the angular acceleration of the ladder when $\alpha = 45^o$ is:
