33. A uniform circuiar disc with its planehorizontal is rotating about a vertical axispassing through its centre at a speed of180 r.p.m. A small piece of wax of mass 1.9g falls verticaliy on the disc and sticks to itat a distance of 25 cm from the axis.If thespeed of rotation is now reduced by 60r.p.m. calenlate moment of inertia of thedisc.

Answer»

During the process of mass m being added and the disc rotating making less revolutions the thing which remains constant is Angular momentum.So we need to conserve angular momentum.
