What is the Young’s modulus for a perfect rigid body?

Answer:

According to Hooke’s law, we know that the young’s modulus is given as :

Young’s modulus = Stress/ Longitudinal strain

The Young’s modulus is calculated as follows when the provided body is a perfect rigid body:

$ Y=\frac{F}{A}\times \frac{l}{0} $

$ Y=\infty $
