The matter which has definite shape is
Correct answer: A. Solid
- A. Solid
- B. Gas
- C. Liquid
- D. Plasma
Explanation
The correct answer is Solid because solids have a definite shape, unlike liquids, gases, and plasma. Solids maintain their shape due to the strong intermolecular forces between their particles, which are closely packed in a fixed arrangement. In contrast, gases and plasma do not have a definite shape or volume, and liquids have a definite volume but take on the shape of their container.

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.

A piston of a cross-sectional area of 100 cm2 is used in a hydraulic press to exert a force of 107 dynes on the water. The cross-sectional area of the other piston which supports an object having a mass of 2000 kg is:
A U-tube in which the cross-sectional area of the limb on the left is one-quarter, and the limb on the right contains mercury (density 13.6 g/cm3). The level of mercury in the narrow limb is at a distance of 36 cm from the upper end of the tube. What will be the rise in the level of mercury in the right limb if the left limb is filled to the top with water?
