A thin smooth rod of length \(L\) and mass \(M\) is rotating freely with angular speed \(\omega_0\) about an axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through its center. Two beads of mass \(m\) and negligible size are at the center of the rod initially. The beads are free to slide along the rod. The angular speed of the system, when the beads reach the opposite ends of the rod, will be:
1. \( \frac{M \omega_0}{M+3 m} \)
2. \(\frac{M \omega_0}{M+2 m} \)
3. \(\frac{M \omega_0}{M+m} \)
4. \(\frac{M \omega_0}{M+6 m}\)

Two uniform circular discs are rotating independently in the same direction around their common axis passing through their centres. The moment of inertia and angular velocity of the first disc are \(0.1\) kg-m2 and \(10\) rad s–1 respectively while those for the second one are \(0.2\) kg-m2 and \(5\) rad s–1 respectively. At some instant, they get stuck together and start rotating as a single system about their common axis with some angular speed. The Kinetic energy of the combined system is:
1. \(\frac{10}{3}~\text{J}\)
2. \(\frac{2}{3}~\text{J}\)
3. \(\frac{5}{3}~\text{J}\)
