प्रश्न
Two discs of moments of inertia I1 and I2 about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speeds ω1 and ω2 are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. (a) What is the angular speed of the two-disc system? (b) Show that the kinetic energy of the combined system is less than the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the two discs. How do you account for this loss in energy? Take ω1 ≠ ω2.

उत्तर
a)Moment of inertia of disc `I = I_1`
Angular speed of disc `I = omega_1`
Angular speed of disc II = `I_2`
Angular momentum of disc II = `omega_1`
Angular momentum of disc I = `L_1 = I_1omega_1`
Angular momentum of disc II, `L_2 = I_2omega2`
Total initial angular momentum, `L_1 = I_1omega_1 + I_2omega_2`
When the two discs are joined together, their moments of inertia get added up.
Moment of inertia of the system of two discs, I = `I_1 + I_2`
Let ω be the angular speed of the system
Total final angular momentum, `L_f = (I_1 + I_2) omega`
Using the law of conservation of angular momentum, we have:
`L_i = L_f`
`I_1omega_1 + I_2omega_2 = (I_1+_ I_2)omega`
`:. omega = (I_1omega_1 + I_2omega_2)/(I_1+I_2)`
b) Kinetic energy of disc I, `E_1 = 1/2 I_1omega_1^2`
Kinetic energy of disc II, `E_2 = 1/2 I_2omega_2^2`
Total initial kinetic energy, `E_i = 1/2 (I_1omegha_1^2 + I_2omega_2^2)`
When the discs are joined, their moments of inertia get added up.
Moment of inertia of the system, `I=I_1+I_2`
Angular speed of the system = ω
Final kinetic energy Ef:
`=1/2(I_1 +I_2)omega^2`
`=1/2 (I_1+I_2)((I_1omega_1 + I_2omega_2)/(I_1+I_2))^2 = 1/2 (I_1omega_1 + I_2omega_2)/(I_1+I_2)`
`:.E_i - E_f`
`=1/2 (I_1omega_1^2 + I_2omega_2^2) - (I_1omega_1 + I_1omega_2)^2/(2(I_1+I_2))`
`=1/2 I_1omega_1^2 + 1/2 I_2omega_2^2 - 1/2 (I_1^2omega_1^2)/(I_1+I_2) - 1/2 (I_2^2omega_2^2)/(2(I_1+I_2)) - 1/2 (2I_1I_2omega_1omega_2)/(2(I_1+I_2))`
`=1/(I_1+I_2) [1/2 I_1^2omega_1^2 + 1/2 I_1I_2omega_1^2 + 1/2 I_1I_2omega_2^2 + 1/2 I_2^2omega^2 - 1/2I_1^2 omega_1^2 - 1/2 I_2^2omega_2^2 - I_1I_2omega_1omega_2]`
`= (I_1I_2)/(2(I_1+I_2))[omega_1^2 + omega_2^2 - 2omega_1omega_2]`
= `(I_1I_2(omega_1-omega_2)^2)/(2(I_1+I_2))`
All the quantities on RHS are positive
`:.E_i - E_f > 0`
`E_i > E_f`
The loss of KE can be attributed to the frictional force that comes into play when the two discs come in contact with each other.
