A rigid body not fixed in some way can have either pure translation or a combination of translation and rotation. In rotation about a fixed axis, every particle of the rigid body moves in a circle which lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis and has its centre on the axis.

A particle is moving with a constant speed in a circular path. Find the ratio of average velocity to its instantaneous velocity when the particle rotates an angle theta =((pi)/(2)) .

Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of a body of mass 2 kg rotating on a circular path of diameter 4 m at the rate of 50 rotations in 20 seconds.

Assertion : The moment of inertia of a rigid body reduces to its minimum value, when the axis of rotation passes through its centre of gravity. Reason : The weight of a rigid body always acts through its centre of gravity.
