  1. Two discs of same moment of inertia rotating about their regular 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:-
    1. 1
      I(ω1 - ω2
      4
    2. I(ω1 - ω2
    3. 1
      I(ω1 - ω2
      8
    4. 1
      I(ω1 - ω2
      2
Correct Option: A

Here, lω1 + lω2 = 2lω

⇒ ω =
ω1 + ω2
2

(K.E)i =
1
1² +
1
2²
22

(K.E)f =
1
2lω² = T
ω1 + ω2
²
22

Loss in K.E. = (K.E)f - (K.E)i = (1/4) l(ω1 - ω2
