A child is standing on the edge of a merry-go-round that has the shape of a disk, as shown in the figure. The mass of the child is 40 kilograms. The merry-go-round has a mass of 200 kilograms and a radius of 2.5 meters, and it is rotating with an angular velocity of ω=2.0 radians per second. The child then walks slowly towards the center of the merry-go-round. When the child reaches the center, what is the angular velocity of the disc? (The size of the child can be neglected.)
     
1. 2.0 rad/s

2. 2.2 rad/s

3. 2.4 rad/s

4. 2.8 rad/s

Two discs are rotating about their axes, normal to the discs and passing through the centres of the discs. Disc D1 has a 2 kg mass, 0.2 m radius, and an initial angular velocity of 50 rad s-1. Disc D2 has 4 kg mass, 0.1 m radius, and initial angular velocity of 200 rad s-1. The two discs are brought in contact face to face, with their axes of rotation coincident. The final angular velocity (in rad.s-1) of the system will be:

1. 60

2. 100

3. 120

4. 40
