(10 pts) The figure below depicts a rack and pinion connection where a viscous friction coefficient B
and a spring with stiffness K are resisting the motion of the rack. The inertias of the disk and pinion
are Jm and Jp; respectively, and any twisting of the shaft connecting the disk and pinion is ignored
(i.e., this link is assumed rigid). Assuming perfect rolling contact between the rack and pinion, derive
the equations of motion for this system with an applied torque T(t) as the input variable and the
rack's linear displacement x(t) as the output variable.
