Question: A uniform solid disk of radius ( R ) and mass ( M ) is free to rotate on a frictionless

A uniform solid disk of radius \( R \) and mass \( M \) is free to rotate on a frictionless pivot through a point on its rim (see figure below). The disk is released from rest in the position shown by the coppercolored cirrle
(a) What is the speed of its center of mass when the disk reaches the position indicated by the dashed circle? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary:
g.)
\[
v_{\mathrm{CM}}=
\]
(b) What is the speed of the lowest point on the disk in the dashed position? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: \( g \).)
\[
v_{\mathrm{L}}=
\]
(c) Repeat part (a) using a uniform hoop of mass \( M \).(Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: \( g \).)
\[
v_{\mathrm{CM}}=
\]
