A wheel is rotaing freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of momet of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is :
