Rotation about a fixed axis is directly analogous to:
ARandom motion
BLinear motion
CWave motion
DThermal motion
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Linear motion
1. Angular quantities pair off with linear ones.
2. Torque plays the part of force, moment of inertia the part of mass.
3. So rotation is analogous to linear motion.
