$A$ horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes $90$ revolutions per minute. $A$ small piece of wax of mass $m$ falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance $r$ from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduces to $60$,then the moment of inertia of the disc is .........

  • A
    $m r^2$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2} m r^2$
  • C
    $2 m r^2$
  • D
    $3 m r^2$

Consider a disc of mass $5 \,kg$ and radius $2 \,m$, rotating with an angular velocity of $10 \,rad/s$ about an axis perpendicular to the plane of rotation and passing through its center. An identical disc is placed gently over the rotating disc along the same axis. The energy dissipated so that both the discs continue to rotate together without slipping is . . . . . . $J$.

Two coaxial discs,having moments of inertia $I_1$ and $\frac{I_1}{2}$,are rotating with angular velocities $\omega_1$ and $\frac{\omega_1}{2}$ respectively,about their common axis. They are brought into contact with each other and thereafter they rotate with a common angular velocity. If $E_f$ and $E_i$ are the final and initial total energies,then $(E_f - E_i)$ is

Two discs of moment of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating along collinear axes passing through their centre of mass and perpendicular to their plane. If the two are made to rotate together along the same axis,the rotational $KE$ of the system will be:
