Assertion (A): Speed of any point on a rigid body in pure rolling can be calculated by expression \(v = r\omega\), where \(r = \text{distance of points from instantaneous centre of rotation}\).
Reason (R): Pure rolling of rigid body can be considered as a pure rotation about instantaneous centre of rotation.
Solution:
In pure rolling, the point of contact is the instantaneous center of rotation. The velocity of any point on the rigid body is given by \(v = r\omega\) where \(r\) is its distance from the ICOR. Pure rolling is essentially rotation about the ICOR.
