What is a rigid body?

  • A
    $A$ body that changes its shape under force.
  • B
    $A$ body with a definite and fixed shape and size,where the distance between any two particles remains constant regardless of the external force applied.
  • C
    $A$ body that only exists in a vacuum.
  • D
    $A$ body that has no mass.

$A$ wheel of radius $1.5 \ m$ rotates with a constant angular acceleration of $10 \ rad/s^2$. Its initial angular speed is $(\frac{60}{\pi}) \ rpm$. What will be its angular speed and angular displacement at $t = 2.0 \ s$?

The velocity of the centre of mass of a rigid rod with respect to an observer $O$ is $\vec v_{cm} = (2\hat i + 3\hat j) \text{ m/s}$. The rod has an angular velocity about its centre of mass given by $\vec \omega = (3\hat j + 4\hat k) \text{ rad/s}$. Let $A$ be a point on the rod with position vector $\vec r = 2(\hat i + \hat k) \text{ m}$ with respect to the centre of mass. The velocity of the point $A$ with respect to $O$ is:
