Solution

The correct option is C
Horizontal disstance covered by the wheel in half revolution $= π$ R

So the displacement of the point which was initially in contact with ground =AA'= $\sqrt{(π R)^{2} + (2 R)^{2}}$

$= R \sqrt{π^{2} + 4} = \sqrt{π^{2} + 4}$ (As R=1m)

A wheel of radius 1 meter rolls forward half a revolution on a horizontal ground. The magnitude of the displacement of the point of the wheel initially in contact with the ground is

The correct option is C Horizontal disstance covered by the wheel in half revolution =π R So the displacement of the point which was initially in contact with ground =AA'=√(πR)2+(2R)2 =R√π2+4=√π2+4 (As R=1m)
