$A$ boy stands at the center of a horizontal platform with $2 \ kg$ masses in each hand,held close to his body. The platform rotates about a vertical axis passing through its center at a speed of $2 \ rev/s$. The moment of inertia of the system is $1 \ kg \cdot m^2$. When the boy extends his arms fully with the masses,the moment of inertia becomes $2 \ kg \cdot m^2$. In the second state,the kinetic energy of the system compared to the first state will be:

  • A
    remain unchanged
  • B
    decrease
  • C
    increase
  • D
    remain uncertain

$A$ ring of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating about its axis with angular velocity $\omega$. Two identical bodies each of mass $m$ are now gently attached at the two ends of a diameter of the ring. Because of this,the kinetic energy loss will be

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $10 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively,while those for the second one are $0.2 \; kg \cdot m^{2}$ and $5 \; rad \cdot s^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant,they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The kinetic energy of the combined system is ........... $J$.
