$A$ circular disk of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane,about its symmetry axis,with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disk of moment of inertia $I_b$ 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 $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disk to friction is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_b I_t}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_b^2}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} \frac{I_t^2}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$
  • D
    $\frac{I_b - I_t}{(I_t + I_b)} \omega_i^2$

$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?

Two discs of moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre),and rotating with angular speed $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. What is the loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process?

$A$ disc of moment of inertia $I_1$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane with a constant angular speed $\omega_1$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_2$ having zero angular speed is placed coaxially on the rotating disc. Now,both the discs are rotating with a constant angular speed $\omega_2$. The energy lost by the initial rotating disc is
