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 about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed ω\omega, the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the zz-axis and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points PP and QQ ). Both these motions have the same angular speed ω\omega in this case 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
Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: Case (a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x−zx-z plane; Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of 45∘45^{\circ} with x−yx-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to xx-axis. In both the cascs, the disc is welded at point P\mathrm{P}, and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed ω\omega about the zz axis.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
Question: Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?

Options

  1. AIt is 2ω\sqrt{2} \omega for both the cases
  2. BIt is ω\omega for case (a); and ω/2\omega / \sqrt{2} for case (b)
  3. CIt is ω\omega for case (a); and 2ω\sqrt{2 \omega} for case (b)
  4. DIt is ω\omega for both the cases.

Correct answer

D. It is ω\omega for both the cases.

Step-by-step solution

For rigid body ω\omega is same for any point of the body.
