QUIZ 2 - SECTION A

MCQ: Multiple Choice Questions

Q(1). In the context of Rigid body mechanics, which of the following statement is False. ( )

ANS:

(A) If a particle, moves along a curved path with constant speed, the tangential acceleration is zero.

(B) Instantaneous centre of rotation can be used to determine both velocity and acceleration of a rigid body.

(C) When we perform relative motion analysis using rotating axes, we need to include Coriolis acceleration term.

(D) For a bicycle wheel, which rotates without slipping, the instantaneous centre of rotation is located at the point of contact with the road.

Q (2). The rim of a wheel has the top point at B and is in contact with the floor at C Due to slipping the points at C and B have velocities as V_C = 2 m/sec V_B = 8 m/sec as shown in Figure.3. Radius of the wheel is 0.5m. What is the velocity of the point D (which is on the rim of the wheel) at this instant ?
