Work Interactions
Problem 1

ground. Can adiabatic work interaction be considered during
the first 0.5 sec of the fall when the ball is chosen as the
system?

Problem 2
A falling weight is used to operate a generator as shown in
the figure. The power generated is converted to heat by a
resistor. Can this be considered an adiabatic work
interaction? Neglect all losses in the process.

Work Done On The Moving Boundaries Of A System

Problem 3
The figure shows a chamber containing 0.04 m3 of a gas.
The initial pressure which is supplied by weights on the
piston is 200 kPa. Keeping this pressure constant the
chamber is heated until the volume of the gas is 0.1 m3.
Considering the gas in the chamber as a system,
a) calculate the work done by the system.
While heating is going on, weights are removed from the
 piston in such a way that the relation between pressure and
volume is given by the expression
b) PV = constant = P1V1 = P2V2
c) PV1.3 = constant.
Calculate the work done in both cases if the initial conditions
are the same and the final volume is 0.1 m3.
d) Let the piston be fixed so that the volume remains
constant. For the same initial conditions calculate the work
done if heat is removed from the system and the pressure
drops to 100 kPa.
