A circular disc of mass M and radius R is rotating about its axis with angular speed ω1. If another stationary disc having radius R2 and same mass M is dropped co-axially on to the rotating disc. Gradually both discs attain constant angular speed ω2. The energy lost in the process is p% of the initial energy. Value of p is ______

Solution

I1ω1+I2ω2=I1+I2×ωf

 

MR22×ω+0MR22+MR281625

ωf=45ω

Final K.E., Kf=12MR22+MR281625ω2

Kf=MR2ω25 ; Ki=12MR22ω2=MR2ω24

Percentage loss in kinetic energy %loss=MR2ω24MR2ω25MR2ω24×100=20%
