To determine which of the given examples represents periodic motion, we first need to understand what periodic motion is. Periodic motion is defined as motion that repeats itself at regular intervals of time. Let's analyze each option step by step. **Step 1: Analyze the swimmer's motion.** - A swimmer completing one return trip from one bank of a river to the other bank involves back and forth movement. However, the time taken for each trip can vary based on various factors (like current, swimmer's speed, etc.). Therefore, this motion does not repeat at regular intervals. **Conclusion:** This is not periodic motion. **Step 2: Analyze the freely suspended bar magnet.** ...

A metal rod of length 'L' and mass 'm' is pivoted at one end. A thin disc of mass 'M' and radius 'R' (ltL) is attached at its center to the free end of the rod. Consider two ways the disc is attached : (case A). The dise is not free to rotate about its centre and (case B) the disc is free to rotate about its centre. The rod disc system perfoms (SHM) in vertical plane after being released from the same displacement position. Which of the following statement (s) is (are) true ? .

The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous exis passing through the centre of mass. These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed omega the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points P and Q). Both these motions have the same angular speed omega in this case Now consider two similar system as shown in the figure: Case (a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to x-z plane, Case (b) the disc with its face making an angle of 45^@ with x-y plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to x-axis. In both the cases, the disc is welded at point P, and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed omega about the z-axis. Which of the following statements regarding the angular speed about the instantaneous axis (passing through the centre of mass) is correct?
