A thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process ( A B C ) as shown in the diagram. The work done by the system per cycle is
Options
- A( -750 ~J )
- B( 750 ~J )
- C( 1250 ~J )
- D( -1250 ~J )
Correct answer
A. ( -750 ~J )
Step-by-step solution
(A) Work done ( =p v ) Work done = Area of triangle ABC ( W= 1 2 (10-5) (100-400) ) ( = 5 2 (-300)=-750 ~J ) The negative sign means the work is done by the system.
