The surface charge density of a circular disk is given by the following relationship:

σ = $\frac{Q}{\pi*R^{2}}$ -- (A)

Where,

σ = Surface charge density.
Q = Charge on the surface
R = Radius of the circular disk.

Now according to the above equation, we can infer:
1) Surface charge density σ is directly proportional to the Charge Q on the surface of the disk.
2) Surface charge density σ is inversely proportional to the square of Radius R of the circular disk.

As the charge is 24nC on the circular disk, and there is no evidence of charge being changed in the question, I would assume that the charge is constant.

Let's apply the condition:
If R = 2R(if the radius of the disk is made doubled)

Plug in the value in (A):
A => σ(new) = $\frac{Q}{\pi*(2R)^{2}}$

Therefore,
σ(new) = $\frac{Q}{\pi*4*R^{2}}$

Hence,
σ(new) = (1/4)σ

Conclusion:
If the Radius of the disk is doubled, the new surface charge density would become one-fourth of the old surface charge density. Hence,

σ(new) = $( \frac{1}{4})( \frac{24nC}{cm^{2}} )$

Ans: σ(new) = 6nC/ $cm^{2}$

Answer from: katzLovez

6 nC / cm^2

Justification:

1) Keeping the same charge (constant charge) the charge density is inversely realted to the surface.

=> charge density = A / surface

where A is a constant

2) Surface is prortional to square of the radius, so the charge density is inversely related to the square of the radius:

=> charge density = B / (radius)^2

where B is a constant

3) this shows that if the radius is doubled the density falls to 1/4:

charge density = B / (2* radius)^2 = B / [ 4*(radius)^2 ] = (1/4) B / (radius)^2

Conclusion: when the radius is doubled the density charge falls to one quarter.

=> [24 nC/cm^2 ] / 4 => 6nC / cm^2.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
