- A 30-kg disk A is attached to one end of a spring with stiffness k = 200 N/m at its center G. The other end of the spring is fixed at A. The disk is initially at rest with the spring unstretched. A couple moment of M = 80 Nm is then applied to the disk causing the disk to roll to the left without sliding. Consider the duration of motion when the disk rolls from the position shown (Position 1) to a position (Position 2) when its mass center G has moved 0.5 m to the left.
