Question

Any point on the circumference of a rigid body which is rolling without slipping undergoes :

• A. a circular path
• B. an elleptic path
• C. a cycloid path
• D. an parabolic path

Answer 1

The correct option is C a cycloid path

Any point on the rigid body, undergoing rolling without slipping, will have linear and angular speed, such that

$linearspeed=distancefromCoM\times angularspeed$

Such particles follows cycloid path.
