Problem
A solid disk of radius 0.20m rolls without slipping toward the right on a horizontal surface with a linear speed of 3.0m/s measured at its center of mass.
(a) Determine the magnitude of the velocity (relative to the ground) of a point located on the disk’s rim that is instantaneously at the topmost position.
(b) Determine the magnitude of the velocity (relative to the ground) of a point located 0.10m above the center along the disk’s radius (half-way between the center and the rim).
