Question: Problem 1 0 . 8 1 ) The flywheel ( Disk ( A ) ) is made of a lighter material than the

Problem 10.81) The flywheel (Disk \( A \)) is made of a lighter material than the clutch plate (disk \( B \)), and the moment of inertia of \(\operatorname{disk} A \) about the shaft is one-third that of disk \( B \). The moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. With the clutch disconnected, \( A \) is brought up to an angular speed \(\omega_{A} ; B \) is initially at rest. The accelerating torque is then removed from \( A \), and \( A \) is coupled to \( B \) by pushing the disks together with forces acting along the axis, so as not to apply any torque on either disk. The disks rub against each other and eventually reach a common angular speed (Ignore bearing friction.)
The design specifications allow for a maximum of 2400 J of thermal energy to be developed when the connection is made.
(a) Find the common angular speed \(\omega \) after the coupling.
(b) What can be the maximum value of the original kinetic energy of \(\operatorname{disk} A \) so as not to exceed the maximum allowed value of the thermal energy?
