Two discs A and B are mounted coaxially on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia and respectively about the common axis. Disc A is imparted an initial angular velocity using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance . Disc B is imparted an angular velocity by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance . Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction. [2007]
Q. The loss of kinetic energy in the above process is
