Dynamics of rotational motion about fixed axis
Question

Two discs of same moment of inertia rotating about their  respective geometrical axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of disc with angular velocities ω1 and ω2. They are brought into contact face to face coinciding the axis of rotation. The expression for loss of energy during this process is

Moderate
Solution

Common angular veocity ω is given , 1 + 2 = 2     ω = ω1+ω22

(K.E.)i = 1212+1222

(K.E.)f = 12×(2I)ω2 = I(ω1+ω22)2

Loss in K.E. = (K.E.)i-(K.E.)f = I4(ω1-ω2)2
