JEE Main Physics question

In the three states of matter, the elastic coefficient that can be defined for all three is

(A)Young's modulus
(B)Coefficient of volume elasticityCorrect
(C)Modulus of rigidity
(D)Poisson's ratio

Answer: (B)

Solution

Young's modulus and the modulus of rigidity require a definite shape and are defined only for solids. Poisson's ratio similarly requires longitudinal and lateral strain
