Question: PHY 1 1 1 Test 3 on Rotational Motion A flywheel at the bottom rotates without friction at an angular velocity 0 = 6 0

PHY111 Test 3 on Rotational Motion
A flywheel at the bottom rotates without friction at an angular velocity 0=600revmin 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. The flywheels very quickly reach the same rotational velocity after which they spin together. Use the law of conservation of angular momentum to determine the angular velocity of the combination.
