Consider regular polygons with number of sides n = 3, 4, 5 ...... as shown in the figure, The center of mass of all the polygons is at height h from the ground. They roll on a horizontal surface about the leading vertex without slipping and sliding as depicted,. The maximum increase in height of the locus of the center of mass for each polygton is `Delta`. Then `Delta` depends on n and h as

A

`Delta=hsin^(2)(pi/n)`

B

`Delta=htan^(2)((pi)/(2n))`

C

`Delta=h(1/(cos(pi/n))-1)`

D

`Delta=hsin((2pi)/n)`
