A uniform disc with a mass of 2 kg and radius R = 0.5 m, rolls without slipping down an incline AB as shown in the figure below. Calculate the linear acceleration, reaction force and friction force. If the incline is pin jointed at A and constrained without friction at B determine the horizontal reaction at A (Statics Revision).
