Question
A horizontal disc rotating freely about a vertical axis through its centre makes 90 revolutions per minute. A small piece of wax of mass m falls vertically on the disc and sticks to it at a distance r from the axis. If the number of revolutions per minute reduce to 60, then the moment of inertia of the disc is
Joshi sir comment
use I1ω1 = I2ω2
let moment of inertia of disc about given axis is I
then I2π90/60 = [I+mr2]2π60/60
solve it
