Question 2: The wheel of radius 0.2 m is rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane, causing
the end C of arm BC to slide on the horizontal surface. The length of arm BC is 0.4 m. Knowing
that the disk moves to the right at a speed of v = 2 m/s in the direction shown in Figure Q2,
and the angle θ = 30°, determine
a) the angular speed Ω of the disk.
b) the speed of end C.
