$A$ uniform circular disc of radius $R$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane, is rotating with an angular velocity $\omega$ about its own axis. Another identical circular disc is gently placed on top of the first disc coaxially. The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to friction between the two discs, as they acquire a common angular velocity, is ($I$ is the moment of inertia of the disc).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{8} I \omega^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} I \omega^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2} I \omega^2$
  • D
    $I \omega^2$

$A$ rod $AB$ is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis through $A$ as shown in the figure. It is slightly disturbed from rest in its position of unstable equilibrium and when it is next vertical,the end $B$ collides with a fixed peg and rebounds. If the rod comes to instantaneous rest when $AB$ is horizontal (as shown in the figure),then:

Seven identical circular planar disks,each of mass $M$ and radius $R$,are welded symmetrically as shown. The moment of inertia of the arrangement about the axis normal to the plane and passing through the point $P$ is:

Two discs have moments of inertia $I_{1}$ and $I_{2}$ about their respective axes perpendicular to the plane and passing through the centre. They are rotating with angular speeds $\omega_{1}$ and $\omega_{2}$ respectively and are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coaxial. The loss in kinetic energy of the system in the process is given by:

Disc $A$ and disc $B$ (with a hole) have equal mass and radius,and a string is wrapped around them as shown. An equal force $F$ is applied to the string of each body. Friction is sufficient for rolling. After time $t$,the velocity of $A$ is $v_A$ and that of $B$ is $v_B$,and their kinetic energies are $k_A$ and $k_B$ respectively. Then:
