Disk A has a mass mA = 4 kg, a radius rA = 300 mm, and an initial angular velocity ω0 = 300 rpm clockwise. Disk B has a mass mB = 1.6 kg, a radius rB = 180 mm, and is at rest when it is brought into contact with disk A. Knowing that μk = 0.35 between the disks and neglecting bearing friction, determine (a) the angular acceleration of each disk, (b) the reaction at the support C.
