For a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis, if the origin is chosen on the axis of rotation, and 'r' is the position vector of a particle P, then where is the center of the circular path of particle P?
The NCERT text states, 'every particle of the body moves in a circle, which lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis and has its centre on the axis.' Since the origin is chosen on the axis, the center of the circle must also be on the axis.
