$A$ circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating about its axis with angular speed $\omega_{1}$. If another stationary disc having radius $\frac{R}{2}$ and same mass $M$ is dropped co-axially onto the rotating disc,gradually both discs attain a constant angular speed $\omega_{2}$. The energy lost in the process is $p \%$ of the initial energy. The value of $p$ is:

$A$ solid cube of wood of side $2a$ and mass $M$ is resting on a horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The cube is free to rotate about a fixed axis $AB$. $A$ bullet of mass $m$ $(m << M)$ and speed $v$ is shot horizontally at the face opposite to $ABCD$ at a height of $4a/3$ from the surface to impart the cube an angular speed $\omega$. It strikes the face and embeds in the cube. Then,$\omega$ is close to (Note: The moment of inertia of the cube about an axis perpendicular to the face and passing through the centre of mass is $2Ma^2/3$).

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of the same thickness and radius but of mass $\frac{1}{8} M$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The angular velocity of the system is now
