Question 14 Marks
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5. The property of a body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original size and shape when the applied force is removed, is known as elasticity and the deformation caused is known as elastic deformation. However, if you apply force to a lump of putty or mud, they have no gross tendency to regain their previous shape, and they get permanently deformed. Such substances are called plastic and this property is called plasticity. Putty and mud are close to ideal plastics. We know that in a solid, each atom or molecule is surrounded by neighboring atoms or molecules. These are bonded together by interatomic or intermolecular forces and stay in a stable equilibrium position. When a solid is deformed, the atoms or molecules are displaced from their equilibrium positions causing a change in the interatomic (or intermolecular) distances. When the deforming force is removed, the interatomic forces tend to drive them back to their original positions. Thus the body regains its original shape and size. Answer the following
- Putty and mud are example of:
- Ideal plastic
- Ideal elastic
- Pseudo plastic
- None of these
- The property of a body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original size and shape when the applied force is removed, is known as:
- Elasticity
- Plasticity
- Both
- None of these
- Define elasticity.
- Define plasticity.
- Explain elastic behavior of solid.

- The property of a body, by virtue of which it tends to regain its original size and shape when the applied force is removed, is known as elasticity and the deformation caused is known as elastic deformation.
- The property of a body, in which body does not regain its original size and shape when the applied force is removed and get permanently deformed, is known as plasticity.
