$A$ thin 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 angular velocity $\omega$. If another disc of same dimensions but of mass $M/2$ is placed gently on the first disc co-axially,then the new angular velocity of the system is:

Initial angular velocity of a circular disc of mass $M$ is $\omega_{1}$. Then two small spheres of mass $m$ are attached gently to two diametrically opposite points on the edge of the disc. What is the final angular velocity of the disc?

$A$ smooth uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has two identical beads of negligible size,each of mass $m$,which can slide freely along the rod. Initially,the two beads are at the center of the rod and the system is rotating with angular velocity $\omega_0$ about its axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its mid-point (see figure). There are no external torques. When the beads reach the ends of the rod,the angular velocity of the system is:
