Two discs of the same moment of inertia are rotating about their regular axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of the disc with angular velocities \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\). They are brought into contact face to face with their axis of rotation coinciding. The expression for loss of energy during this process is:
1. \(\frac{1}{4}I\left(\omega_1-\omega_2\right)^2\)
2. \(I\left(\omega_1-\omega_2\right)^2\)
3. \(\frac{1}{8}I\left(\omega_1-\omega_2\right)^2\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}I\left(\omega_1-\omega_2\right)^2\)

A mass \(m\) moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity \(v_0\) at a radius \(R_0.\) The mass is attached to a string that passes through a smooth hole in the plane, as shown in the figure.

The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally, \(m\) moves in a circle of radius \(\frac{R_0}{2}.\) The final value of the kinetic energy is:

1. \( m v_0^2 \) 2. \( \dfrac{1}{4} m v_0^2 \)
3. \( 2 m v_0^2 \) 4. \( \dfrac{1}{2} m v_0^2\)

A circular platform is mounted on a frictionless vertical axle. Its radius \(R = 2~\text{m}\) and its moment of inertia about the axle is \(200~\text{kg m}^2\). It is initially at rest. A \(50~\text{kg}\) man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at the speed of \(1~\text{ms}^{-1}\) relative to the ground. The time taken by man to complete one revolution is:

1. \(\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\text{s}\) 2. \(2\pi~\text{s}\)
3. \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\text{s}\) 4. \(\pi~\text{s}\)

A circular disk of a moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I_t}\) is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetric axis, with a constant angular speed \(\omega_i.\) Another disk of a moment of inertia \(\mathrm{I_b}\) is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially, the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually, both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed \(\omega_f.\) The energy lost by the initially rotating disc due to friction is:
1. \( \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}^2}{\left(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)} \omega_{\mathrm{i}}^2\)

2. \( \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}^2}{\left(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)} \omega_{\mathrm{i}}^2\)

3. \( \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}}{\left(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)} \omega_{\mathrm{i}}^2 \)

4. \( \frac{1}{2} \frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}}{\left(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{t}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{b}}\right)} \omega_{\mathrm{i}}^2 \)
