Two discs of moments of inertia I(1) and...

Two discs of moments of inertia `I_(1) and I_(2)` about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speed `omega_(1) and omega_(2)` are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident (i) What is the angular speed of the two-disc system ? (ii) Show that the kinetic energy of the combined system is less than the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the two discs. How do you account for this loss in energy ? Take `omega_(1) ne omega_(2)`.
