  • A
    $2g/3$
  • B
    $g/2$
  • C
    $5g/6$

What is the direction of angular velocity in circular motion about a fixed axis of rotation?

The linear velocity of a rotating body is given by $\overrightarrow v = \overrightarrow \omega \times \overrightarrow r,$ where $\overrightarrow \omega$ is the angular velocity and $\overrightarrow r$ is the radius vector. If the angular velocity of a body is $\overrightarrow \omega = \hat i - 2\hat j + 2\hat k$ and the radius vector is $\overrightarrow r = 4\hat j - 3\hat k,$ then find the magnitude of linear velocity $|\overrightarrow v |$.
