What is the Young’s modulus

Question:

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

Solution:

According to Hooke’s law,

Young’s modulus = Stress/ Longitudinal strain

When the given body is a perfect rigid body, then the Young’s modulus is given as:

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