Question:

Disk A, with a mass of 2.0 kg and a radius of 40 cm, rotates clockwise about a frictionless vertical axle at 30 rev/s. Disk B, also 2.0 kg but with a radius of 20 cm, rotates counterclockwise about that same axle, but at a greater height than disk A, at 30 rev/s. Disk B slides down the axle until it lands on top of disk A, after which they rotate together. After the collision, what is their common angular speed (in rev/s) and in which direction do they rotate?
