A circular disc of moment of inertia $I_t$, is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed $\omega_i$ . Another disc of moment of inertia $l_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disc. Initially the second disc has zero angular speed. Eventually both the discs rotate with a constant angular speed $\omega_f$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is
