Two discs A and B are mounted coaxiallay on a vertical axle. The discs have moments of inertia I and 2 I respectively about the common axis. Disc A is imparted an initial angular velocity `2 omega` using the entire potential energy of a spring compressed by a distance `x_1` Disc B is imparted an angular velocity `omega` by a spring having the same spring constant and compressed by a distance `x_2` Both the discs rotate in the clockwise direction. When disc B is brought in contact with disc A, they acquire a common angular velocity in time t. The average frictional torque on one disc by the other during this period isA. `(2Iomega)/(3t)`B. `(9Iomega)/(2t)`C. `(9Iomega)/(4t)`D. `(3Iomega)/(2t)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let final angular velocity be `omega_(1)`. Applying conservation of angular momentum.
`(I+2I)omega_(1)=I(2omega)+2Iomega`
`implies omega_(1)=(4omega)/3`
now angular impulse `=` change in angular momentum
`taut=2I(omega_(1)-omega)`
`implies taut=2Iomega/3impliest=(2Iomega)/(3t)`
