JEE Advanced 2017 Medium - The general motion of a rigid body can be considered to be a combination of (i) a motion of its centre of mass about an axis, and (ii) its motion about an instantaneous axis passing through the centre of mass.
These axes need not be stationary. Consider, for example, a thin uniform disc welded (rigidly fixed) horizontally at its rim to a massless, stick, as shown in the figure. When the disc-stick system is rotated about the origin on a horizontal frictionless plane with angular speed \(\omega\), the motion at any instant can be taken as a combination of (i) a rotation of the centre of mass of the disc about the \(z\)-axis and (ii) a rotation of the disc through an instantaneous vertical axis passing through its centre of mass (as is seen from the changed orientation of points \(P\) and \(Q\) ). Both these motions have the same angular speed \(\omega\) in this case
Now consider two similar systems as shown in the figure: Case
(a) the disc with its face vertical and parallel to \(x-z\) plane; Case
(b) the disc with its face making an angle of
\(45^{\circ}\) with \(x-y\) plane and its horizontal diameter parallel to \(x\)-axis. In both the cascs, the disc is welded at point \(\mathrm{P}\), and the systems are rotated with constant angular speed \(\omega\) about the \(z\) axis.

- A particle \(P\) starts from the point \(z_0=1+2 i\), where \(i=\sqrt{-1}\). It moves first horizontally away from origin by 5 units and then vertically away from origin by 3 units to reach a point \(z_1\). From \(z_1\) the particle moves \(\sqrt{2}\) units in the direction of the vector \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) and then it moves through an angle \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) in anti-clockwise direction on a circle with centre at origin, to reach a point \(z_2\).
