Using Lagrange's equation derive the equation of motion of the system given below. The mass moment of inertia of the rod about its center of mass is $I_G$ Disk is attached to the rod by a frictionless revolute joint. It has finite dimensions: radius of the disk is $R$ and its mass is $m$

Step 1
First, let's find the center of mass of the disk. Since the disk is a uniform object, the center of mass is located at the geometric center, which is also the center of the disk. So, the center of mass is located at the center of the disk. Show more…
