A rigid triangular body, PQR, with sides of equal length of 1 unit moves on a flat plane. At the instant shown, edge QR is parallel to the x-axis, and the body moves such that velocities of points P and R are VP and VR, in the x and y directions, respectively. The magnitude of the angular velocity of the body is
-
- VP/ √3
- 2VR
- 2VP
- VR/ √3
Correct Option: B
= | = ωbody | |||
√3 | a |
VP = √3VR (a = 1 unit)
ωbody = 2VR
