By conservation of angular momentum $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}_1 \omega_1=\mathrm{I}_2 \omega_2 \ & \left(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{MR}^2ight) \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}_1}=\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{M}\left(\frac{3}{4} \mathrm{R}ight)^2 \frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}_2} \ & \frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_1}=\frac{9}{16 \mathrm{~T}_2} \ & \frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}_2}=\frac{9}{16} 	imes \mathrm{T}_1=\frac{9}{16} 	imes 24 \mathrm{hr}=\frac{27}{2} \mathrm{hr}=13 \mathrm{hr} 30 \mathrm{mins} . \end{aligned}$
