In the diagram, disk 1 has a moment of inertia of 3.4 kg · m2 and is rotating in the counterclockwise direction with an angular velocity of 6.1 rad/s about a frictionless rod passing through its center. A second disk rotating clockwise with an angular velocity of 9.3 rad/s falls from above onto disk 1. The two then rotate as one in the clockwise direction with an angular velocity of 1.8 rad/s. Determine the moment of inertia, in kg · m2, of disk 2.

I = 3.6 kg•m²

Explanation:

Conservation of angular momentum

Let's assume CW is the positive direction

3.4(-6.1) + I(9.3) = 3.4(1.8) + I(1.8)

I(9.3 - 1.8) = 3.4(1.8 + 6.1)

I(7.5) = 3.4(7.9)

I = 3.4(7.9)/(7.5) = 3.5813333333...
