Problem 4(10 pts):
The system shown in the figure below is comprised of a disk of radius R, with mass m, center point O, and mass moment
of inertia about the center of mass IO that rolls without slipping, with point of contact at Q. When the spring, attached a
distance b from the center of the disk, is unstretched, =0. An input torque is applied by a motor at the point O. is
considered a small angle for this problem. Gravity acts downward.
Your tasks:
A. Derive the equations of motion for the system in terms of ,0, etc. Remember all your steps - free body diagrams, etc.
(10 pts)
B. BONUSI If the input torque, (t) is equal to at Nm, Is the small angle approximation actually valid for this problem?
Justify your answer for full credit. (4 points).
Can you solve this using the instantaneous center of velocity at point Q. Thank you
