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
