Question Details

A particle completes 1.5 revolutions in a circular path of radius 2 cm. The angular displacement of the particle will be – (in radian)

Options

A

6 π

B

3 π

C

2 π

D

π

Correct Answer :

3 π

Solution :

The correct option is 3 π.

Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Understand Angular Displacement in One Revolution:
When a particle completes one full revolution (one complete circle) in a circular path, the angle swept or angular displacement is equal to 360 degrees, which in radians is:
θ=2π radians

2. Calculate for 1.5 Revolutions:
The particle completes 1.5 revolutions. To find the total angular displacement (θ), we multiply the number of revolutions by the angular displacement per revolution:
θ=1.5×2π radians

3. Simplify the expression:
θ=32×2π radians
θ=3π radians

Therefore, the angular displacement of the particle is 3 π radians. Note that the radius of the circular path (2 cm) is extra information and is not required to calculate the angular displacement.
