$A$ disc of moment of inertia $I_1$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane with a constant angular speed $\omega_1$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_2$ having zero angular speed is placed coaxially on the rotating disc. Now,both the discs are rotating with a constant angular speed $\omega_2$. The energy lost by the initial rotating disc is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{I_1+I_2}{I_1 I_2}\right] \omega_1^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{I_1 I_2}{I_1-I_2}\right] \omega_1^2$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{I_1-I_2}{I_1 I_2}\right] \omega_1^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{I_1 I_2}{I_1+I_2}\right] \omega_1^2$

$A$ man standing on a turn-table is rotating at a certain angular frequency with his arms outstretched. He suddenly folds his arms. If his moment of inertia with folded arms is $75 \%$ of that with outstretched arms,then his rotational kinetic energy will

$A$ space station consists of two living modules attached to a central hub on opposite sides by long corridors of equal length $L$. Each living module contains $N$ astronauts of equal mass $m$. The mass of the space station structure is negligible compared to the mass of the astronauts,and the size of the central hub and living modules is negligible compared to the length of the corridors. Initially,the space station is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ such that the astronauts feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g = \omega^2 L$. Two astronauts,one from each module,move into the central hub. The remaining astronauts now feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g'$. What is the ratio $g'/g$ in terms of $N$?
