A wheel of moment of inertia 0.10 is rotating about a shaft at an angular speed of 160rev/min.A second wheel is set into rotation at 300 rev/min and is coupled to the same shaft so that both the wheels finally rotate with the common angular velocity of 200 rev/min.Find the moment of inertis of second wheel

For this purposeuse the law of conservation of angular momentum
I1(omega)1(Angular mom. of first wheel )+I2(omega)2 (Angular mom. of seconn d wheel )=(I1+I2)(omega)f (Angular mom. of combined system wheel )
