  • MCQ

Two discs have moments of intertia \({I}_{1}\) and \({I}_{2}\) about their respective axes perpendicular to the plane and passing through the centre. They are rotating with angular speeds, \(\omega_{1}\) and \(\omega_{2}\) respectively and are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coaxial. The loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process is given by :

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{{I}_{1} {I}_{2}}{2\left({I}_{1}+{I}_{2}\right)}\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2}\right)^{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From conservation of angular momentum we get

\({I}_{1} \omega_{1}+{I}_{2} \omega_{2}=\left({I}_{1}+{I}_{2}\right) \omega\)

\(\omega=\frac{{I}_{1} \omega_{1}+{I}_{2} \omega_{2}}{{I}_{1}+{I}_{2}}\)

\({k}_{{i}}=\frac{1}{2} {I}_{1} \omega_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2} {I}_{2} \omega_{2}^{2}\)

\({k}_{{f}}=\frac{1}{2}\left({I}_{1}+{I}_{2}\right) \omega^{2}\)

\({k}_{{i}}-{k}_{{f}}=\frac{1}{2}\left[{I}_{1} \omega_{1}^{2}+{I}_{2} \omega_{2}^{2}-\frac{\left({I}_{1} \omega_{1}+{I}_{2} \omega_{2}\right)^{2}}{{I}_{1}+{I}_{2}}\right]\)

Solving above we get

\({k}_{{i}}-{k}_{{f}}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{{I}_{1} {I}_{2}}{{I}_{1}+{I}_{2}}\right)\left(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2}\right)^{2}\)
