The bulk modulus of a perfectly rigid body is

A

zero

B

unity

C

infinity

D

may have any finite non-zero value

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Bulk modulus, B=`("normal stress")/("volume strain")`
For a perfectly rigid body, `DeltaV=0` , so volume strain
is zero and therefore B is infinite
