$A$ mass $m$ moves in a circle on a smooth horizontal plane with velocity $v_0$ at a radius $R_0$. The mass is attached to a string which passes through a smooth hole in the plane as shown. The tension in the string is increased gradually and finally $m$ moves in a circle of radius $\frac{R_0}{2}$. The final value of the kinetic energy is

  • A
    $mv_0^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}mv_0^2$
  • C
    $2mv_0^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2$

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of same dimension but of mass $M/4$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The angular velocity of the system now is

$A$ circular disc of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about its symmetry axis with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$. Another disc of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially,the second disc has zero angular speed. Eventually,both the discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is:
