A particle moves from A to B in a circular path of radius R covering an angle `theta` as shown in figure. Find the ratio of magnitude of distance and magnitude of displacement of the particle.

A

`(theta)/(2) .sin theta`

B

`(theta)/(2 sin .(theta)/(2))`

C

`(theta)/(2 sin theta)`

D

`(theta)/(sin.(theta)/(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Distance = Arc `AB = R theta`
Displacement `= 2R sin. (theta)/(2)`
