A wheel rolls purely on ground. Find a point on the periphery of a body which has a velocity equal in magnitude to the velocity of the centre of mass of the body.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Velocity of any point on the circumference of a rolling body
`v_(p)=2v_(CM)costheta/2`
For `v_(p)=v_(CM),` we have
`v_(CM)=2v_(CM)costheta/2=1/2` or `theta=120^@`
