The motion of a door when a force is applied on its handle is:
(a) rotational motion
(b) linear motion
(c) angular motion
(d) zig-zag motion

(a) rotational motion

Reason — If a body is pivoted at a point and the force is applied on the body at a suitable point, it rotates the body about the axis passing through the pivoted point. This is the turning effect of force and the motion of body is called the rotational motion.
