A circular disk of moment of inertia $I_t$ is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed ${\omega _i}$. Another disk of moment of inertia $I_b$ is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk. Initially the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed ${\omega _f}$. The energy lost by the initially rotating disc to friction is

  • A

    $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{I_b}{I_t}}}{{\left( {{I_t} + {I_b}} \right)}}\omega _i^2$

  • B

    $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{I_b^2}}{{\left( {{I_t} + {I_b}} \right)}}\omega _i^2$

  • C

    $\frac{1}{2}\frac{{I_t^2}}{{\left( {{I_t} + {I_b}} \right)}}\omega _i^2$

  • D

    $\frac{{{I_b} - {I_t}}}{{\left( {{I_t} + {I_b}} \right)}}\omega _i^2$
