Translation and Rotation of a Body: Overview
This topic covers concepts such as Horizontal Motion on a Banked Road without Friction, Translational Motion, Rotational Motion, Translational and Rotational Motion, and Bending of Cyclist on a Horizontal Road.
Important Questions on Translation and Rotation of a Body
Which one of the following motion include translational motion of the rigid body?

What do you mean by the translational motion of a rigid body?

A body under translational motion is rigid if:

A round object of mass M and radius R rolls down without slipping along an inclined plane. The frictional force

A cyclist riding the bicycle at a speed of takes a turn around a circular road of radius without skidding. Given , what is his inclination to the vertical.

For the rigid body executing pure rotational motion, the angular velocity of all the particles is same.

Define rotational motion of rigid body.

A shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure is lying on a smooth floor. A force is applied at the point parallel to , such that the object has only the translational motion without rotation. Find the location of with respect to .

Show that the angle of banking is independent of mass of vehicle.

Give one example of the following.
Curvilinear

A disc of radius is rotating with an angular velocity about a horizontal axis. It is placed on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction is . What condition should be satisfied for the rolling to begin?

A particle of mass moving horizontally with a velocity collides and sticks to the bottom of the smoothly pivoted hanging rod of mass and length.

A road of width forms an arc of radius , its outer edge is higher than its inner edge. Calculate for what velocity the road is banked

A cyclist goes round a circular path of length 400 m in 20 s. calculate the angle through which he bends from vertical in order to maintain the balance

A uniform rod is hanging with the help of the unintelligible strings as shown. Then:

A wheel of radius is free to rotate about its own axis. A tangential force is applied to the wheel along its rim. If is angular displacement of the wheel due to the force then work done by is

A solid sphere, a hollow sphere and a ring are released from top of an inclined plane (frictionless) so that they slide down(no rolling) the plane. Then maximum acceleration down the plane is for

For a rigid body made of total particles each of mass , the radius of gyration about a given axis equals to -

A car is moving on an unbanked circular bend of radius , at a speed of . The angle of banking required for the safe turning of the car is (Take .)

Select the wrong statement -
Statement-I : A body may be in pure rotation under the action of single external force.
Statement-II : If a body is in pure rotation under action of single external force then it must not be rigid.
