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 point masses of $0.3\ kg$ and $0.7\ kg$ are fixed at the ends of a rod of length $1.4\ m$  and of negligible mass. The rod is set rotating about an axis perpendicular  to its length with a uniform angular speed. The point on the rod through which the axis should pass in order that the work required for rotation of the rod is minimum is located at a distance of
