A 50kg uniform disk with a radius of 180mm is rolling down a 20 degree incline. This wheel has a radius of gyration about its center of gravity (which is at the center of the drum) of 120mm. Assuming its is rolling without slipping, what is the acceleration of the center of gravity and the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction for this situation?
