What is the displacement of the centre of the wheel in one rotation? Let the radius of the wheel be R ? |
πR R 0 2πR |
2πR |
Let the time taken for one rotation be ‘T’. Let the angular speed of the wheel be ‘ω’. $\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$ The velocity of the centre is $ V_c = \omega R = \frac{2\pi}{T} \times R$ ∴ Displacement of centre in one rotation is $ S = V_c T = 2\pi R$
