Explanation:
Given that,
Linear speed of both disks is 5 m/s
Mass of disk 1 is 10 kg
Radius of disk 1 is 35 cm or 0.35 m
Mass of disk 2 is 3 kg
Radius of disk 2 is 7 cm or 0.07 m
(a) The angular velocity of disk 1 is :
[tex]v=r_1\omega_1\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{5}{0.35}\\\\\omega_1=14.28\ rad/s[/tex]
(b) The angular velocity of disk 2 is :
[tex]v=r_2\omega_2\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{v}{r_2}\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{5}{0.07}\\\\\omega_2=71.42\ rad/s[/tex]
(c) The moment of inertia for the two disk system is given by :
[tex]I=I_1+I_2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1r_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2r_2^2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1r_1^2+m_2r_2^2)\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (10\times (0.35)^2+3\times (0.07)^2)\\\\I=0.619\ kg-m^2[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
