Question
| A small pebble tied at one end of a string is placed near the periphery of a circular disc, at the centre of which the other end of the string is tied to a peg. The disc is rotating about an axis passing through its centre. |
- What will be your observation when you are standing outside the disc? Explain.
- What will be your observation when you are standing at the centre of the disc? Explain.
Solution
- On standing outside the disc, we find that the pebble is moving on a circular path.
- On standing at the centre of the disc, we find that the pebble is stationary, placed just in front of us.
