A cylindrical disk has radius 0.5m, and mass 2kg. It is spinning counter-clockwise at 300 rad/s. A smaller concentric disk with radius 0.2m and mass 0.5kg is spinning clockwise at 400 rad/s. The smaller disk is then dropped onto the first disk, and sticks to it. What is the angular velocity of the combined disk now? (A) 0 (B) 273 rad/s, cw (C) 273 rad/s, ccw (D) 304 rad/s, cw (E) 304 rad/s, CCW
