P is the point of contact of a wheel and the ground. The radius of the wheel is 1m. The wheel rolls on the ground without slipping. The displacement of point P when the wheel completes half rotation is :
2 m
\[\sqrt{\pi^{2}+4} m\]
π m
\[\sqrt{\pi^{2}+2} m\]

Solution:

Horizontal Displacement = πR

Vertical Displacement = 2R

Total Displacement = ((πR)^2+(2R)^2)^1/2=

\[\sqrt{\pi^{2}+4} m\]
