MediumWhat is rotational motion and an axis of rotation?
(N/A) Rotational motion is the motion of a body in which all its particles move in circular paths about a fixed line,known as the axis of rotation.
$1$. Rotational Motion: When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis,every particle of the body moves in a circle whose center lies on the axis and whose radius is the perpendicular distance of the particle from the axis.
$2$. Axis of Rotation: The axis of rotation is a fixed straight line about which a rigid body rotates. All particles of the body perform circular motion around this line. For example,the Earth rotates about its own axis.

View SolutionThe moment of inertia of a solid flywheel about its axis is $0.1\,kg\cdot m^2$. $A$ tangential force of $2\,kg\cdot wt$ is applied around the circumference of the flywheel with the help of a string and mass arrangement as shown in the figure. If the radius of the wheel is $0.1\,m$,find the angular acceleration of the solid flywheel (in $rad/s^2$). (Take $g = 9.8\,m/s^2$)
