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

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are $0.1 \;kg - m ^{2}$ and $10\; rad \,s^{-1}$ respectively while those for the second one are $0.2 \;kg - m ^{2}$ and $5\; rad \,s ^{-1}$ respectively. At some instant they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The Kinetic energy of the combined system is ...........$J$
