Two discs with moments of inertia $I_1$ and $I_2$ and angular speeds $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are rotating about collinear axes passing through their centers of mass and perpendicular to their planes. If they are joined together to rotate about the same axis,the rotational kinetic energy of the system will be:

  • A
    $\frac{I_1\omega_1 + I_2\omega_2}{2(I_1 + I_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{(I_1 + I_2)(\omega_1 + \omega_2)^2}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{(I_1\omega_1 + I_2\omega_2)^2}{2(I_1 + I_2)}$
  • D
    None of the above

$A$ man stands on a rotating platform with his arms stretched horizontally,holding a $5\; kg$ weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is $30$ revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body,with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from $90\; cm$ to $20\; cm$. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to $7.6\; kg\; m^2$.
