(b) Since the disc comes to rest, it stops rotating and translating simultaneously
|
and 
. That means, the angular momentum about the instantaneous point of contact just after the time of stopping is zero. We know that the angular momentum of the disc about 
remains contant because frictional force 
and 
pass through point 
and thus produce no torque about this point
