3. A wheel of a bike of diameter 500mm rolls with out slipping on a level road through a distance of 1025mm. Trace the path of a point P on the wheel which is initially in contact with the road. Name the curve. Also find the angle through which the wheel is turned.Hint: Distance moved by the point P and wheel rotates through 180o=250 =785mm
