Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 15 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& W_1=s 4 \pi\left(\frac{R}{3}\right)^2 \times 27-4 \pi R^2 \cdot s \\
& \Rightarrow W_1=4 \pi R^2 \cdot s(2)=10 \text { Joule }
\end{aligned}\)

Now, \(W_2=s 4 \pi R^2(4-1)=4 \pi R^2 s \times 3\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad W_2=3 \times \frac{10}{2}=15 \text { Joule }\)
