For very small values of ∆θ, the angular displacement is:
Correct answer: C. Vector quantity
- A. Base quantity
- B. Supplementary quantity
- C. Vector quantity
- D. Scalar quantity
Explanation
For very small values ∆θ, the angular displacement is a vector quantity, its direction is along the axis of rotation and it is given by right hand rule.

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
