JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A thin circular disc of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with angular velocity \(\omega\). If another disc of same dimensions but of mass \(\mathrm{M} / 2\) is placed gently on the first disc co-axially, then the new angular velocity of the system is _______.

  1. A \(\frac{4}{5} \omega\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{4} \omega\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3} \omega\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{2} \omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{3} \omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{I}_1 \omega=\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2\) \(\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2} \omega=\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{MR}^2}{2}\right) \omega_2\) \(\omega_2=\frac{2}{3} \omega\)
