As illustrated in Figure P4.43, the disk's axis of rotation at A is offset from the disk's center of geometry O by a distance e. The uniform bar BC pivots about point C and remains in contact with the disk. The disk rotates at a constant angular speed ωO. Tasks:
(a) Redraw the mechanism in a general orientation, select coordinates, and obtain the kinematic-constraint expressions.
(b) Determine the angular velocity of the bar BC.
(c) Determine the angular acceleration of the bar BC.
