02. Ans: (b) => UA = VA + Vs ------- ( 1)
Sol: Instantaneous center of a body rolling with

common normal at the point of contact
separation
=> UA - us = Vs - VA
03. Ans: (b)
=> UA = Vs - VA ---------- (2)
Sol: The frictional force always acts m the
VA + Vs = Vs - VA
opposite direction of motion
=> 2VA = 0 => VA = 0
In this case the acceleration at the point
