$A$ boy is standing at the center of a turntable holding two blocks in his hands. The rotational kinetic energy of the system about the axis passing through the center is $K$. When the boy extends his arms,the moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation doubles. What will be the new rotational kinetic energy of the system?

  • A
    $K$
  • B
    $\frac{K}{2}$
  • C
    $2K$
  • D
    $\frac{K}{4}$

$A$ horizontal disc of moment of inertia $4.25 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning counter-clockwise at $15 \,rps$ about its axis,as viewed from above. $A$ second disc of moment of inertia $1.80 \,kg \cdot m^2$ with respect to its axis of symmetry is spinning clockwise at $25 \,rps$ as viewed from above about the same axis and is dropped on top of the first disc. The two discs stick together and rotate as one about their axis of symmetry. The new angular velocity of the system as viewed from above is close to
