PROBLEM 1
The 100-kg uniform bar AB is attached to the 300-kg
homogeneous disk by a pin at A. The weight of the slider
attached at B is negligible. The disk rolls without slipping along
the horizontal plane. In the position shown, the kinetic energy of
the system is 2400 N · m. After the disk has rolled 180o
clockwise, calculate (a) the kinetic energy of the system; and (b)
the angular velocity of the disk.

PROBLEM 2
End B of the uniform 2.7-kg bar AB is connected to a small roller that moves in a horizontal slot. The
other end of the bar is pinned to the homogeneous 1.8-kg disk that rolls without slipping on the vertical
surface. The spring attached to A has a free length of 0.3 m and a stiffness of 58 N/m. After the system
is released from rest in the position shown, the velocity of A is 3 m/s when AB becomes horizontal.
Determine the magnitude of the force P that acts on the bar at B.
