JEE Advanced2012PhysicsRotational MotionActual
The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick, as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated a
Options
- AIt is 2 for both the cases
- BIt is for case (a); and / 2 for case (b)
- CIt is for case (a); and 2 for case (b)
- DIt is for both the cases.
Correct answer
D. It is for both the cases.
Step-by-step solution
For rigid body is same for any point of the body.
