Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum**
In this educational exercise, we explore the concepts of angular velocity and angular momentum through a practical example involving a rotating disc.
### Problem Statement
A disc (thin cylinder) with the following properties:
- Mass: 0.05 kg
- Radius: 0.65 m
This disc is rotating on a frictionless axle at a constant rate of 77 RPM (revolutions per minute). We are tasked with determining:
1. The angular velocity (\(\omega\)) in radians per second.
2. The angular momentum (L) in kg·m²/s.
**Formulas:**
- Angular Velocity, \(\omega = \frac{\text{RPM} \times 2\pi}{60}\)
- Angular Momentum, \(L = I \times \omega\)
- Moment of Inertia for a disc, \(I = \frac{1}{2} m r^2\)
### Additional Scenario
A second disc with the following properties:
- Mass: 0.02 kg
- Radius: 0.23 m
This second disc is dropped onto the first disc, and they rotate together. We need to find:
1. The final angular velocity (\(\omega\)) of the system.
2. The final RPM of the system.
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram depicts:
- A vertical axle with a larger disc at the bottom rotating in a horizontal plane.
- A smaller disc above, aligned to be dropped onto the larger disc.
- An arrow indicating the direction of rotation.
The diagram serves to illustrate the setup and interaction of the two discs in the experiment.
