A circular disk of moment of inertia is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed . Another disk of moment of inertia is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed . The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
As no external torque is applied to the
system, the angular momentum of the system
remains conserved.
Li = Lf
According to given problem,
...(i)
Initial energy, ...(ii)
Final energy, ...(iii)
Substituting the value of from equation (i) in equation (iii), we get
Final energy,
...(iv)
Loss of energy, E = Ei – Ef
(Using (ii) and (iv))
