According to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Physics Chapter 8 Mechanical Properties of Solids, when an external force is applied to a solid, the solid undergoes changes in shape or size which is called deformation. The solid deformation can be classified into:
Elastic Deformation: It is when the body returns to its original size and shape after the force is removed. It occurs within the elastic limit and follows Hooke's law. The most common examples include stretching a helical spring or a rubber band.
Plastic Deformation: It occurs beyond the elastic limit and here after the removal of the force, the body does not return to its origin

The modulus of elasticity refers to the material's capacity to withstand or resist deformation when stress is applied. There are three types of the modulus of elasticity including:
Young's Modulus (E): It is used to measure a solid's elasticity when longitudinal stress (tensile or compressive) is applied to it. Mathematically, it is represented by the following formula;
SI Unit is N/m² (Pascal, Pa).
Bulk Modulus (K): It is used to measure the ability of the material to resist volume change when uniform pressure is applied to it. Mathematically, it is:
Shear Modulus (G) or Modulus of Rigidity: It is used when a shear

The level of difficulty for the CUET Economics exam is generally comparable to the Class 12th board level, with a focus on core concepts in Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. The questions test conceptual clarity and the application of economic principles. Students who are well-prepared in their Class 12th syllabus, particularly those using NCERT books, should find the exam manageable, though critical thinking and analytical skills are essential for higher scores.
