$A$ small disk is attached to the end of a light inextensible string,which passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal tabletop. Initially,the disk moves on a circle of radius $R$ with kinetic energy $K_0$. The string is then slowly pulled so that the disk finally rotates on a circle of radius $\frac{R}{\eta}$. What is the work $W$ done in pulling the string?

  • A
    $W = \eta^2 K_0$
  • B
    $W = (\eta^2 - 1) K_0$
  • C
    $W = (\eta - 1) K_0$
  • D
    $W = 0$
