Question:

Find the work done by the gas in the process shown in figure : 

294495

Options:

\(\frac{5}{2}\pi\) atm L

\(\frac{5}{2}\) atm L

\(\frac{-3}{2}\pi\) atm L

\(-\frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L

Correct Answer:

\(-\frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L

Explanation:

Area of cycle = |W|

  = \(\frac{\pi(4-3)(4-2)}{2} + \frac{\pi(2-1)(3-2.5)}{2}\)

  = \(\frac{2.5}{2}\pi = \frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L

W = - \(\frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L
