Question

The thin disk below turns on a massless arm B by way of a smooth bearing that keeps the axes of D and B aligned. The arm is hinged to

the shaft driven at a constant angular speed N by a motor. The system is set up so that the arm is horizontal when the disk contacts the ground as shown. Assuming the disk of mass m rolls without slipping, find the force reactions and the moment reactions exerted by the arm on the bearings at point C in terms of the given dimensions, the mass,the normal force acting on the disk, the friction forces acting on the disk and the angular speed N.
