Section 1: Engineering Mathematics

Vector Calculus

Subtopic: Divergence and curl

Question Statement:

If $\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}$ represents the velocity of a rigid body rotating with constant angular velocity $\vec{\omega}$, then $\nabla \times \vec{v}$ equals:

Options:

  • (A) $2 \vec{\omega}$
  • (B) $\vec{\omega}$
  • (C) $\vec{0}$
  • (D) $\frac{1}{2} \vec{\omega}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Curl of rigid body velocity field is twice the angular velocity: $\text{curl}(\vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}) = 2\vec{\omega}$.
