Two disks are initially spinning, one above the other on a small axle that provides a small, but non-negligible torque from friction, as shown in the figure below. Both disks have the same radius, R = 2.58 m. Disk 1 has a moment of inertia I1 = 9.8 kg⋅m2. Disk 2 has a moment of inertia I2 = 5 kg⋅ m2. Let vertically up be the z direction, such that counterclockwise rotation as viewed from above corresponds to positive values of the z-component. Disk 1 is initially spinning with a z-component of angular velocity ω1,z = 21 rad/s, and disk 2 is initially spinning with a z-component of angular velocity ω2,z = -15 rad/s.
