A solid disc of radius $r$ rolls without slipping on a horizontal floor with angular velocity $\omega$ and angular acceleration $\alpha$. The magnitude of the acceleration of the point of contract on the disc is $zero$ $r \alpha$ $\sqrt{(r \alpha)^2 + (r \omega^2)^2}$ $r \omega^2$
A compound gear train with gears $P$, $Q$, $R$ and $S$ has number of teeth $20$, $40$, $15$ and $20$, respectively. Gears $Q$ and $R$ are mounted on the same shaft as shown in the figure below. The diameter of the gear $Q$ is twice that of the gear $R$. If the module of the gear $R$ is $2$ $mm$, the center distance in $mm$ between gears $P$ and $S$ is $40$ $80$ $120$ $160$

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 $V_P$ and $V_R$, in the $x$ and $y$ directions, respectively.
