What is the main difference between Solid body and Rigid body ?
Can you give me example some of them !

A rigid body is a theoretical object that does not deform under external forces. It maintains its shape and size regardless of the forces acting on it. A solid body, on the other hand, is a physical object that has a definite shape and size, and can deform under external forces.
Some examples of rigid bodies include a baseball, a book, a bar of metal, and a door. These objects do not change their shape or size when they are at rest or in motion.
Rigid bodies are often used in engineering and physics to simplify calculations and model the behavior of physical objects. Solid bodies, on the other hand, are used in various industries for their specific properties, such as strength and durability, in manufacturing and construction.
Yes, a solid body can be considered a rigid body if the external forces acting on it do not cause it to deform. This means that the object maintains its shape and size, even under the influence of external forces.
The main assumptions made when dealing with rigid bodies include that they do not deform, that all forces acting on the body are external, and that there are no internal stresses or deformations within the body. These assumptions allow for simpler calculations and analysis of the body's motion and behavior.
