PROBLEM 18.103
A 2.5 kg homogeneous disk of radius 80 mm rotates with an
angular velocity ₁ with respect to arm ABC, which is welded
to a shaft DCE rotating as shown at the constant rate
w212 rad/s. Friction in the bearing at A causes ₁ to
decrease at the rate of 15 rad/s². Determine the dynamic
reactions at D and E at a time when ₁ has decreased to
50 rad/s.
