A wheel of perimeter4 pie metres is rolling on a horizontal surface . the displacement of the point of contact of the wheel and ground when the wheel completes one quarter of revolution is
Answers
Answer:
a wheel with a perimeter (circumference) of 4 pi, so the diameter is 4, (pi x dia = 4 pi) and radius 2
when the wheel travels one quarter of revolution, the point of contact is 1/4 x 4pi = pi chord distance from the ground and let the straight line distance be A
draw an imaginary triangle by three lines resp. the diamenter of the circle, side A and a line joining the remaining two points of the diameter and this line A, which is also of the same length A
by calculation, after applying h2 = p2 + b2 (pythagoras theorum)
A2 + A2 = diameter2
2A2 = 4x4 = 16
so, A2 = 8
hence A = 2.828
hence 2.828 is the linear distance from the original point of contact when the wheel turns a quarter revolution..
Answer:
answer is as simple as 2√2 m
