A disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$. A second identical disc is placed gently on top of the first. The final angular velocity of the system is:

  1. A.$\frac{\omega}{2}$
  2. B.$\frac{\omega}{4}$
  3. C.$\frac{2\omega}{3}$
  4. D.$\omega$
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: A$\frac{\omega}{2}$

Solution

By conservation of angular momentum, . Since , we have , so .
