A uniform disk pulled horizontally by a force applied at its axle.
A uniform solid disk of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is pulled across a horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force \(F\) applied at its central axle, causing the disk to roll without slipping. Which of the following statements correctly describes the net work done by static friction on the disk as its center of mass moves a distance \(D\), and provides the correct physical justification?
