Similarity between static equillibrium of a particle and rigid body?
In statics a particle and a rigid body are viewed as pretty much the same thing, and can be analysed with the same methods. Assuming that a particle is in equilibrium i.e. the sum of the forces and the moments are all zero, and that a rigid body is made up of particles, we know that if each particle of this body is in equilibrium (internal forces cancel each other out) then we can conclude that the body must therefore also be in equilibrium. The difference between these a particle and a body is we will usually find a particle in space without these so-called constraints, while a rigid body- a beam comes immediately to mind, is usually constrained in some or other manner, by either a pin or roller or any other way.
What is the difference between rigid and deformable bodies?
rigid body has definite shape but deformable body does not have .
What is the difference between particle and body?
A particle is treated as a dimensionless point while a body takes up space.
Define rigid body?
The relative position of the points on any object will not change at any application of force then,it is called rigid body.OR,It is defined as a system of particle,which does not deform.....,
Is your weight a property of mechanical equilibrium?
Your weight is the gravitational attraction force between you and the Earth and not a property of mechanical equilibrium. Mechanical equilibrium is a state in which a momentum coordinate of a particle, rigid body, or dynamical system is conserved.
Is there such a thing as truly rigid body?
no body is truely rigid body because we observe rigid body at microscopic level
Does a hamster have a rigid body?
It has a rigid skeleton but the body is flexible.
Why does a rigid body has frequency?
because a rigid body can vibrate.
How does a rigid body differ from an elastic body?
An elastic body will stretch when loaded. A rigid body willl not. A rigid body is a theortical body only in which stiffness is infinite.
What is rigid rotor?
A rigid rotor is a 3-dimensional rigid body, such as a top -a children's toy. To describe the orientation of a 3-dimensional object with respect to a 3-dimensional coordinate system three angles are required. If the angles do not vary in time, the rigid body is standing still; when the angles vary in time the rigid body is rotating and is referred to as a rigid rotor (also known as rigid rotator).A special rigid rotor is the linear rotor which is a 2-dimensional object (a pencil), requiring two angles to describe its orientation. Sometimes one considers rotation of a single particle around an axis fixed in space, then one angle is sufficient to describes the system fully.
what system provides rigid support by the body?
The skeletal system gives rigid support to the body.
What object is rigid?
A Rigid body is defined as a system of particles which does not deform.
