No you didn't. The answers you gave are fairly meaningless, since they include neither your assumptions nor most of the relevant calculations.

As it happens, the specific answer you offered (10.2J over ten seconds) is correct if the added mass is placed at a diameter of 755mm. Which is kind of a strange assumption, as is your use of rotational velocity as an alias for speed at the opening of the problem.

There are a lot of ways to look things up.

Yes. And there are a lot of ways to fail to comprehend or meaningfully use the material that you look up.
