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

  • A
    $\frac{1}{8} I \omega^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4} I \omega^2$
  • C

The figure shows a system consisting of $(i)$ a ring of outer radius $3R$ rolling clockwise without slipping on a horizontal surface with angular speed $\omega$ and $(ii)$ an inner disc of radius $2R$ rotating anti-clockwise with angular speed $\omega/2$. The ring and disc are separated by frictionless ball bearings. The system is in the $x-z$ plane.
