I'm trying to get the position vector of the offset mass relative to the inertial frame of reference. Do I account for the fact that the disk has rolled a little bit with respect to the inertial frame of reference? With that, I have
r,vector = d n1 + R n2 + R/2 er = R*theta n1 + R n2 + R/2 er,
where d = R*theta because the disk is assumed to roll without slip.
Or is it just r,vector = R n2 + R/2 er?
