Rotational Motion Question 67

Question: A circular disk of moment of inertia It is rotating in a horizontal plane, about its symmetry axis, with a constant angular speed ωt . Another disk of moment of inertia Ib is dropped coaxially onto the rotating disk.Initially the second disk has zero angular speed. Eventually both the disks rotate with a constant angular speed ωf . The energy lost by the initially rotating disc due to friction is
