Problem

A uniform rigid disk has mass MM and radius aa, and a uniform rigid rod has mass M′M' and length bb. The rod is placed along the axis of symmetry of the disk with one end in contact with the disk. Find the forces necessary to pull the disk and rod apart. [Hint. Make use of the solution in the `disk' example.]
