b (b) From Hooke's law, Young modulus $Y=\frac{S t r e s s}{S t r a i n}$
The Strain produced in a perfectly rigid body is zero i.e Strain$=0$
$\therefore Y=\frac{S t r e s s}{0} \quad \Longrightarrow Y=\infty$
Thus the Young's modulus of perfectly rigid body material is infinite.

An aluminium rod with Young's modulus $Y =7.0$ $\times 10^{10} N / m ^2$ undergoes elastic strain of $0.04 \%$. The energy per unit volume stored in the rod in SI unit is:
A wire of cross-sectional area $3\,m{m^2}$ is first stretched between two fixed points at a temperature of $20°C$. Determine the tension when the temperature falls to $10°C$. Coefficient of linear expansion $\alpha = {10^{ - 5}} { ^\circ}{C^{ - 1}}$ and $Y = 2 \times {10^{11}}\,N/{m^2}$ ........ $N$
Two wires each of radius $0.2\,cm$ and negligible mass, one made of steel and other made of brass are loaded as shown in the figure. The elongation of the steel wire is $.........\times 10^{-6}\,m$. [Young's modulus for steel $=2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$ and $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$ ]
A block of weight $100 N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross sectional area $0.5 cm ^2$ and, length $\sqrt{3} m$ and $1 m$, respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in figure. The angles subtended by copper and steel wires with ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. If elongation in copper wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ C }\right)$ and elongation in steel wire is $\left(\Delta \ell_{ s }\right)$, then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_{ C }}{\Delta \ell_{ S }}$ is. . . . . .
[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} N / m ^2$ respectively]
A uniformly tapering conical wire is made from a material of Young's modulus $Y$ and has a normal, unextended length $L.$ The radii, at the upper and lower ends of this conical wire, have values $R$ and $3R,$ respectively. The upper end of the wire is fixed to a rigid support and a mass $M$ is suspended from its lower end. The equilibrium extended length, of this wire, would equal
