A uniform disk turns at 2.4 rev/s around a frictionless axis. A nonrotating rod, of the same mass as the disk and length equal to the disk's diameter is dropped onto the freely spinning disk figure. They then both turn around the axis with their centres superposed. What as the angular frequency in rev/s of the combination.

Answer:
C
Solution:

Angular momentum is conserved.

I_disk=MR²/2; for rod length 2R, I_rod=M(2R)²/12=MR²/3.

ωf=2.4(I_disk)/(I_disk+I_rod)=1.44 rev/s.
