  2. B1.90 J/cal1.90 \text{ J/cal}
  3. C4.19 J/cal4.19 \text{ J/cal}
  4. D5.33 J/cal5.33 \text{ J/cal}

Correct answer

C. 4.19 J/cal4.19 \text{ J/cal}

Step-by-step solution

From the given P-V diagram, the process abcabc consists of an isobaric process abab and an isochoric process bcbc.

The work done during the isobaric process abab is:
Wab=P(Vb−Va)=200×103×(0.05−0.02)=6000 JW_{ab} = P(V_b - V_a) = 200 \times 10^3 \times (0.05 - 0.02) = 6000 \text{ J}

The work done during the isochoric process bcbc is zero since the volume is constant:
Wbc=0W_{bc} = 0

Total work done by the system is:
W=Wab+Wbc=6000 JW = W_{ab} + W_{bc} = 6000 \text{ J}

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the total heat supplied in Joules is:
Q=ΔU+W=5000 J+6000 J=11000 JQ = \Delta U + W = 5000 \text{ J} + 6000 \text{ J} = 11000 \text{ J}

Given that the heat supplied is 2625 cal2625 \text{ cal}, the mechanical equivalent of heat JJ is:
J=11000 J2625 cal≈4.19 J/calJ = \dfrac{11000 \text{ J}}{2625 \text{ cal}} \approx 4.19 \text{ J/cal}
