Question
Which of the following is/are correct about a rigid body? (i) Inter-particle distances are independent of the forces of constraints; (ii) Inter-particle distances is zero; (iii) Inter-particle distances are fixed by the forces of constraints
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
In a rigid body, the distances between particles are fixed (constant) by the forces of constraints. They are not independent of forces, and they are not zero.
Hint
Rigid body means fixed shape, so fixed inter-particle distances.
