Q.

A thermodynamic system is taken from an original state A to an intermediate state B by a linear process as shown in the figure. Its volume is then reduced to the original value from B to C by an isobaric process. The total work done by the gas from A to B and B to C would be          [2024]

1 33800 J  
2 2200 J  
3 800 J  
4 1200 J  

Ans.

(3)

Work done AB=12(8000+4000) Dyne/cm2×4 m3

                          =(6000 Dyne/cm2)×4 m3

Work done BC=(4000 Dyne/cm2)×4 m3

Total work done =2000 Dyne/cm2×4 m3

         =2×103×1105Ncm2×4 m3

         =2×10-2×N10-4 m2×4 m3

          =2×102×4 Nm=800 J
