The pper disk, of mass 280 g and radius 2.4 cm is initially not rotating. It drops freely down onto the lower disk, and frictional forces bring the two disks to a common rotational speed.

Explanation / Answer

moment of inertia of lower disk Il = (1/2)*ml*rl^2 = (1/2)*0.45*0.031^2 = 0.000216225 kg m^2

initial angular momentum Li = Il*wi = 0.000216225*180

after the two disk coupled

moment of inertia of upper disk = (1/2)*mu*ru^2 = (1/2)*0.28*0.024^2 = 8.064*10^-5 kgm^2

total moment of inertia If = Il + Iu

If = (0.000216225)+(8.064*10^-5) = 0.000296865 kg m^2

final angular momentum Lf = If*wf

from moentum conservation

Lf = Li


0.000296865*wf = 0.000216225*180

wf = 131.1 rpm     <<<<<----------------answer

partB


initial KE , ki = (1/2)*Li^2/2Il

final KE = Kf = (1/2)*Lf^2/If


Li = Lf


fraction (Ki - Kf)/Ki = (If-Il)/If = (0.000296865-0.000216225)/0.000296865 = 0.27
