Solution Summary
The solution determines the disk slip at this instant.
Solution Preview
This is a complex problem and we solve it in 4 stages:
1. Find the center of mass and the moment of inertia
2. Assume no slipping and find angular acceleration
3. Find the acceleration of the center of mass
4. Find the friction and normal force at A and see whether the assumption of no slipping holds.
We are given ω = 0.4 rad/s, θ = 60°, R= 0.4 m.
Since the mass of the semicircle is irrelevant we do not use it, and just write "M" in the formulae. All Calculations are done in SI units (kg, s, m).
