$A$ thin and circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its geometrical axis with an angular velocity $\omega$. If another disc of same dimensions but of mass $M/4$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially,then the new angular velocity of the system is:

  • A
    $5/4 \omega$
  • B
    $2/3 \omega$
  • C
    $4/5 \omega$
  • D
    $3/2 \omega$

$A$ uniform rod $AB$ of length $L$ and mass $M$ is pivoted at its center $O$ such that it can rotate freely in a vertical plane. The rod is initially in a horizontal position. $A$ particle $S$ of the same mass $M$ falls vertically with velocity $v$ and strikes the rod at point $C$. $C$ is the midpoint between $O$ and $B$. Find the angular velocity of the rod immediately after the particle strikes it.
