A uniform solid disk of radius 4.18 m and
mass 193 kg is free to rotate on a frictionless
pivot through a point on its rim.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 :
If the disk is released from rest in the po-
sition shown by the solid circle, what is the
speed of its center of mass when the disk
reaches the position indicated by the dashed
circle? Answer in units of m/s.
i tried using the conservation of energy equation to solve this problem.
1/2mv^2=mgh
i used the diameter of the circle for the h, but i still couldn't find the speed of the center of mass. can anyone help?
