Question: Flywheel rotates without friction at an angular velocity 0 = 6 0 0 rev / min on a frictionless, vertical shaft of negligible rotational inertia.

Flywheel rotates without friction at an angular velocity 0=600 rev/min on a
frictionless, vertical shaft of negligible rotational inertia. A second flywheel,
which is at rest and has a moment of inertia three times that of the rotating
flywheel, is dropped onto it. Because friction exists between the surfaces, the
flywheels very quickly reach the same rotational velocity, after which they
spin together
