A disk with moment of inertia I1 rotates about a frictionless, vertical a:de with angular speed ω1. A second disk, this one having moment of inertia l2 and initially not rotating, drops onto the first disk (figure). Because of friction between the surfaces, the two eventually reach the same angular speed ωf The value of ωf is

a
I1+I2I1ωi
b
I1I1+I2ωi
c
I1+I2I2ωi
d
I1I2ωi

detailed solution

Correct option is B

From conservation of angular momentum for the isolated system of two disks:I1+I2ωf=I1ωi or ωf=I1I1+I2ωi

A boy stands over the centre of a horizontal platform which is rotating freely with a speed of 2 revolutions/s about a vertical axis through the centre of the platform and straight up through the boy. He holds 2 kg masses in each of his hands close to his body. The. combined moment of inertia of the system is 1 kg×metre2. The boy now stretches his arms so as to hold the masses far from his body. In this situation, the moment of inertia of the system increases to 2kg×metre2. The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will
