👉 In physics and engineering, a "straplike" object is an object that behaves like a rigid body under certain conditions. It is characterized by its ability to resist deformation even when subjected to forces acting perpendicular to its surface. This behavior can be achieved through various mechanisms such as friction, static friction, or thermal expansion. Examples of straplike objects include springs, rods, and wires that are capable of resisting deformation in a specific direction under external forces.
