12. Rotational Kinematics / Rolling Motion (Free Wheels) / Problem 8
Initially resting on a frictionless ice rink, a solid uniform steel disk with a mass of 25.0 kg and a radius of 60.0 cm is pulled by a rope wound around its circumference. A constant horizontal force of 30.0 N is applied to the rope, pulling it to the right. In which direction does the center of mass (CM) of the disk move?
