Q.

Two discs of moment of inertia I1=4 kgm2 and I2=2 kgm2 about their central axes and normal to their planes, rotating with angular speeds 10 rad/s and 4 rad/s respectively are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. The loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process is ________ J.                  [2024]


Ans.

(24)        Here angular momentum will remain conserve

               L=Iω

              Li=Lf

             4×10+2×4=(6)ω

              48=6ω

              ω=8rad/sec

              ΔKE=KEf-KEi

             ΔK=12(6)(8)2-[(124×102)+(12(2)×(4)2)]

            ΔK=192-216

            ΔK=-24J
