Q.

A disc is rolling without slipping with angular velocity ω. P and Q are two points equidistant from the centre C. The order of magnitude of velocity is              [2004]

1 vQ>vC>vP  
2 vP>vC>vQ  
3 vP=vC, vQ=vC2  
4 vP<vC>vQ  

Ans.

(1)

In pure rolling, the point of contact is the instantaneous centre of rotation of all the particles of the disc.

On applying v=rω

We find ω is same for all the particles, then vr.

rQ>rC>rP  vQ>vC>vP
