Solids

This physics worksheet provides questions to students on the mechanical properties of solids. It includes short answer questions about elasticity, compressibility of materials, and how cutting an elastic wire affects its load capacity. Multiple choice questions test understanding of bulk modulus, stress-strain graphs, and types of material deformation. Assertion/reason questions cover rigidity and differences between liquid and solid shear resistance. Longer answer questions define Hooke's law, label features on a stress-strain graph, and calculate volume change when water is compressed under pressure using its bulk modulus.
