Question: A heavy flywheel rotates at an angular speed v (radians per second) around an axle (see figure). The axle is rigidly attached to the end

A heavy flywheel rotates at an angular speed v (radians per second) around an axle (see figure). The axle is rigidly attached to the end of a simply supported beam of flexural rigidity EI and length L (see figure). The flywheel has mass moment of inertia Im about its axis of rotation. If the flywheel suddenly freezes to the axle, what will be the reaction R at support A of the beam?
