A body executes pure rotation. The angular velocity ω\omega of the body, the distance rr of a particle from the axis, and the linear speed vv of the particle satisfy the relation ω=vr\omega = \dfrac{v}{r}. Therefore,

Options

  1. Aω∝1r\omega \propto \dfrac{1}{r}
  2. Bω∝r\omega \propto r
  3. Cω=0\omega = 0
  4. Dω\omega is independent of rr

Correct answer

D. ω\omega is independent of rr

Step-by-step solution

For a rigid body executing pure rotation, all particles of the body rotate with the same angular velocity ω\omega.

The linear speed vv of a particle at a distance rr from the axis of rotation is given by v=ωrv = \omega r.

Since ω\omega is the same for all particles of the rigid body, it does not depend on the distance rr of the particle from the axis of rotation.

Therefore, ω\omega is independent of rr.
