Question

Classify the spinning top into translatory, rotatory, and oscillatory motion.

Answer 1

1. A body is said to be in rotatory motion if it moves about a fixed axis without changing its position.
2. For example: a giant wheel, a merry-go-round, a spinning wheel (charkha), a potter's wheel, and a spinning top, all show rotatory motion.

Hence, it will fall under the rotatory motion.
