A uniform disk turns at 2.4 rev/s around a frictionless
Chapter 2, Problem 60P(choose chapter or problem)
(II) A uniform disk turns at around a frictionless spindle. 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, Fig. . They then both turn around the spindle with their centers superposed. What is the angular frequency in rev/s of the combination?
