Problem

Two identical solid disks rotate about their central axes on nearly friction-free bearings. Disk X is bare. Disk Y has a small lump of clay pressed onto its rim. Both disks spin with the same angular speed ω\omega. Rank the disks’ magnitudes of angular momentum LL from greatest to least and briefly state the reason for your ranking.
