It can't be circular, fixed axis movement is called rotary movement right?

Vijay bansal said:   1 decade ago
The kinematics and dynamics of rotation around a fixed axis of a rigid body are mathematically much simpler than those for free rotation of a rigid body; they are entirely analogous to those of linear motion along a single fixed direction, which is not true for free rotation of a rigid body.

So answer is C.

Vishal Joshi said:   9 years ago
The rotational motion of a body about its own axis passing through its C.G. Is rotary motion. While the rotational motion of a body about any fixed axis is circular motion.

So C is correct option.

IT should be b as motion around a circle or a fixed point is called circular motion. Around a axis is called rotary motion.

Dattatraya said:   8 years ago
I think option C is right because movement about any fixed axis of the body is known as circular.

Goutham said:   6 years ago
Motion about its own axis is rotation and motion around a fixed axis is circular.

It's circular because it asked about a particle (point particle) not a body.

Because in rotating motion body changes its orientation. As a particle don't have any orientation.
