A disc of mass M and radius R is kept flat on a smooth horizontal table. An insect of mass m alights on the periphery of the disc and begins to crawl along the edge.
(a) Describe the path of the centre of the disc.
For what value of `(m)/(M)` the centre of the disc and the insect will follow the same path ?
