Question 4(20 marks)
The disk in Figure Q4 has a mass of 10-kg and a radius of gyration of k_(G)=\sqrt(0.02)m
about its center of mass G. The disk is at rest before the horizontal force P=60N is
applied to its mass center G. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction for the surfaces
in contact are \mu _(s)=0.2 and \mu _(k)=0.15, respectively.
(i) Which two possible motions of the disk are possible?
(ii) Calculate the maximum possible static friction force.
(iii) Calculate the actual static friction force assuming that the disk rolls without
slipping after the 60- N force is applied. Comment on your answer.
(iv) Hence or otherwise, determine the angular acceleration of the disk and the
acceleration of G.
