Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
U \(\propto \frac{1}{V^3}\)
U = \(\frac{k}{V^3}\)
k = UV\(^3\)
k = 81 x 2\(^3\) = 81 x 8
When V = 3,
U = \(\frac{k}{V^3}\)
U = \(\frac{81 \times 8}{3^3}\)
U = \(\frac{81 \times 8}{27}\) = 24
U \(\propto \frac{1}{V^3}\)
U = \(\frac{k}{V^3}\)
k = UV\(^3\)
k = 81 x 2\(^3\) = 81 x 8
When V = 3,
U = \(\frac{k}{V^3}\)
U = \(\frac{81 \times 8}{3^3}\)
U = \(\frac{81 \times 8}{27}\) = 24
