Practicing Success
Find the work done by the gas in the process shown in figure : |
\(\frac{5}{2}\pi\) atm L \(\frac{5}{2}\) atm L \(\frac{-3}{2}\pi\) atm L \(-\frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L |
\(-\frac{5}{4}\pi\) atm L |
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 |
