A circular disk of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed ${\omega }_i.$ Another disk of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotation disk. Initially the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed ${\omega }_f.$ The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is 

(1)$\frac{1}{2}\frac{I_b^2}{\left(I_t+I_b\right)}{\omega }_i^2$

A man of 50 kg mass is standing in a gravity free space at a height of 10m above the floor. He throws a stone of 0.5 kg mass downwards with a speed $2 m{s}^{-1}.$ When the stone reaches the floor, the distance of the man above the floor will be

From a circular disc of radius R and mass 9M, a small disc of mass M and radius $\frac{\mathrm{R}}{3}$ is removed concentrically. The moment of inertia of the remaining disc about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc and passing through its centre is:
