PMDC Verified Question 24 of 95
A particle is executing uniform circular motion in a circle of radius \( 100 \text{ mm} \). If its speed is \( 10 \text{ cm/s} \) then its angular velocity is:
A
\( 10 \text{ rad/s} \)
B
\( 0.1 \text{ rad/s} \)
C
\( 10 \text{ revolutions/s} \)
D
None of these

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: None of these
Concept:

To calculate angular velocity, all spatial dimensions must be equalized. We must convert millimeters and centimeters to a common unit.

Formula:

$$ \omega = \frac{v}{r} $$

Solution:

  • Let's convert both into centimeters.
  • Radius \( r = 100 \text{ mm} = 10 \text{ cm} \).
  • Speed \( v = 10 \text{ cm/s} \).
  • Substitute into formula: \( \omega = \frac{10 \text{ cm/s}}{10 \text{ cm}} \).
  • \( \omega = 1 \text{ rad/s} \).
  • Since \( 1 \text{ rad/s} \) is not present in Options A, B, or C, the correct choice must be "None of these".


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Option A happens if you wrongly divide 100 by 10.
  • Option B happens if you wrongly divide 10 by 100 (forgetting to convert mm to cm).
  • Option C mistakes radians for full revolutions, which are off by a factor of \( 2\pi \).
