Two disks are mounted (like a merry-go-round) on low-friction bearings on the same axle and can be brought together so that they couple and rotate as one unit. The first disk, with rotational inertia 1.99 kg-m² about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise (which may be taken as the positive direction) at 422 rev/min. The second disk, with rotational inertia 7.97 kg-m² about its central axis, is set spinning counterclockwise at 679 rev/min. They then couple together. (a) What is their angular speed after coupling? If instead the second disk is set spinning clockwise at 679 rev/min, what are their (b) angular velocity (using the correct sign for direction) and (c) direction of rotation after they couple together? (a) Number i Units (b) Number i Units (c)
