Answered & Verified by Expert
A uniform circular disc of radius $R$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane is rotating with an angular velocity ' $\omega$ ' about is its own axis. Another identical circular disc is gently placed on the top of the first disc coaxially. The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to friction between the two discs, as they acquire common angular velocity is ( $I$ is moment of inertia of the disc)

The correct answer is:
$\frac{1}{4} / \omega^2$
We know the KE of a rotational circular disc
$$
\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} / \omega^2 \quad \text { and } \quad I=\frac{1}{2} M R^2
$$
Hence, the resultant loss rotational KE will be the addition of both energy loss is $=\frac{1}{4} / \omega^2$
$$
\mathrm{KE}=\frac{1}{2} / \omega^2 \quad \text { and } \quad I=\frac{1}{2} M R^2
$$
Hence, the resultant loss rotational KE will be the addition of both energy loss is $=\frac{1}{4} / \omega^2$
