ANSWER:Solution 41P This question is based on the first law of thermodynamics, which is expressed mathematically as Q = U + W , where Q is the amount of heat added to a system, U is the change in internal energy of the system and W is the work done by the system. Given that, along path acb, Q = 90.0 J W = 60.0 J Therefore, along the path acb, the change in internal energy is U) acb= Q W = 90.0 60.0 J = 30.0 J (a) Along the path adb also, the change in internal energy is also 30.0 J.
