Problem: A disk of mass m and radius r is initially held at rest just above a larger disk of mass M and radius R that is rotating at angular speed wi. What is the final angular speed of the disks after the top one is dropped onto the bottom one and they stop slipping on each other? Note: the moment of inertia of a disk of mass M and radius R about an axis through its center and perpendicular to the disk is I = (1/2)MR2.

The final angular velocity is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the first disk is  m

      The radius of the first  disk is  r

      The mass of  second disk is  M

      The radius of second disk is R

       The speed of rotation is w

       The moment of inertia of second disk is  

Since the first disk is at rest initially

        The initial angular momentum would be due to the second disk  and this is mathematically represented as

Now when the first disk is then dropped the angular momentum of the whole system now becomes

This above is because the formula for moment of inertia is the same for every disk

       According to the law  conservation of  angular momentum

=>
