What Is Non Rigid Body?
A rigid body is usually considered as a continuous distribution of mass. in case of non rigid there is no proper arrangement of particles. you can say as amorphous solid. a rigid body is a solid in which deformation is zero or so small it can be neglected.

.

Also to know is, what is rigid and non rigid body?

Answer: When force is applied on a rigid body, there will be no change in the shape or size of the rigid body. In case of a non rigid body the force will distort shape and/or size of the body.

Secondly, is human body a rigid body? Since the human body is composed of several segments (14 - 15, depending on the model used), it can be considered as a system of rigid bodies. The segments are inter-linked at the joints and, for this reason, the human body is often called as the linked-segment system.

Similarly, you may ask, what is meant by rigid body?

In physics, a rigid body (also known as a rigid object) is a solid body in which deformation is zero or so small it can be neglected. The distance between any two given points on a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external forces exerted on it.

What is motion of a rigid body?

6.4. The translational motion of a rigid body is the motion of the point where the entire body mass is concentrated at the center of gravity. The coordinate system X-Y-Z is fixed in absolute space, and the coordinate system x-y-z is fixed on the moving rigid body, as shown in Figure 6.20.

What is the means of rigid?

adjective. stiff or unyielding; not pliant or flexible; hard: a rigid strip of metal. firmly fixed or set. inflexible, strict, or severe: a rigid disciplinarian; rigid rules of social behavior.

Can a rigid body be elastic?

In this sense a rigid body can never be elastic. But in practical world such a rigid body doesn't exist. This is because, for a given external force system, all bodies will undergo some amount of deformation, no matter how small the deformation is. In this sense a rigid body can indeed be elastic.
