One end of a rod of length $L$ is fixed to a point on the circumference of a wheel of radius $R$. The other end is sliding freely along a straight channel passing through the centre of the wheel as shown in the figure below. The wheel is rotating with a constant angular velocity $\omega$ about $O$. Taking $T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$, the motion of the rod is
  • Asimple harmonic with a period of $T$
  • Bsimple harmonic with a period of $T / 2$
  • Cnot simple harmonic but periodic with a period of $T$
  • Dnot simple harmonic but periodic with a period of $T / 2$
