Q89NEET 2002 · AIPMTMedium

Rolling Motion

A point P consider at contact point of a wheel on ground which rolls on ground without slipping then value of displacement of point P when wheel completes half of rotation (if radius of wheel is 1 m)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

PPπR2Rs
  1. In half a rotation the centre moves πR\pi R forward, so P moves πR=π\pi R = \pi m horizontally.
  2. P goes from the bottom to the top of the wheel: vertical shift 2R=22R = 2 m.
  3. Displacement =π2+22=π2+4= \sqrt{\pi^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{\pi^2 + 4} m.
  4. So the answer is (b).
