In the above question what would be the loss in K.E. of system in the process?

Answer»

`(I_(1)I_(2)(omega_(1)-omega_(2))^(2))/(2(I_(1)+I_(2)))`
`((I_(1)+I_(2))(omega_(1)^(2)-omega_(2)^(2)))/(2I_(1)I_(2))`
`(I_(1)omega_(1)^(2)-I_(2)omega_(2)^(2))/((I_(1)+I_(2)))`
`(I_(1)omega_(1)^(2)-I_(2)omega_(2)^(2))/(2(I_(1)+I_(2)))`

Solution :Here the initial and FINAL K.E. be `K_(i) and K_(f)`, then
`K_(i)=(1)/(2)I_(1)omega_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)I_(2)omega_(2)^(2)`
`=(1)/(2)[I_(1)omega_(1)^(2)+I_(2)omega_(2)^(2)]`
Also `K_(f)=(1)/(2)(I_(1)+I_(2))((I_(1)omega_(1)+I_(2)omega_(2))^(2))/((I_(1)+I_(2))^(2))`
`=(1)/(2)((I_(1)omega_(1)+I_(2)omega_(2))^(2))/((I_(1)+I_(2)))`
and `K_(f)-K_(i)=(1)/(2)((I_(1)^(2)omega_(1)^(2)+I_(2)^(2)omega_(2)^(2)+2I_(1)I_(2)omega_(1)omega_(2)))/(I_(1)+I_(2))-[(1)/(2)I_(1)omega_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)I_(2)omega_(2)^(2)]`
= `(1)/(2){(I_(1)^(2)omega_(1)^(2)+I_(2)^(2)omega_(2)^(2)-I_(1)^(2)omega_(1)^(2)-I_(2)^(2)omega_(2)^(2)-I_(1)I_(2)(omega_(1)^(2)+omega_(2)^(2))+2I_(1)I_(2)omega_(1)omega_(2))/(I_(1)+I_(2))}`
`=-(1)/(2){(I_(1)I_(2)(omega_(1)^(2)+omega_(2)^(2)-2omega_(1)-omega_(2)))/(I_(1)+I_(2))}`
`=-(1)/(2){(I_(1)I_(2))/(I_(1)+I_(2))(omega_(1)+omega_(2))^(2)}`
Now `(I_(1)I_(2))/(I_(1)+I_(2))` cannot be - ve. Also `(omega_(1)-omega_(2))^(2)` cannot be - ve being SQUARE. Thus over all difference `(K_(f)-K_(i))` is - ve. There is a LOSS in K.E which is due to the work done against the friction between two DISC on CONTACT.
