She doesn't want us to use integrals unfortunately

Update, I think I figured it out but not really understanding For process 3->4, Wgas,isothermal = area under curve = 1/2bh + Arectangle = 2pV We can plug in our area into the work in isothermal equation, thus Wgas,isothermal = -pVln(Vf/Vi) = -2pVln(2V/V) |Q| = ΔEth(3->4) + Wgas,isothermal...

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Light bulb moment

Problem and pV diagram Problem: Rank the magnitude of the heat transferred with the gas in each of the four processes. Given pV diagram Attempt at solution with my questions in red Equations used: Thermal energy: Eth=3/2nRT Ideal gas law: pV=nRT Workby...

Apologies, made a mistake when posting. Please see below post.

Thank you, Here's a example where I keep getting hung up on. Fnet=ma=FB-W The example gives Fnet = FB + 17.5 N - W = 0 where did ma go? Why is the zero placed on the far right? my interpretation using my given equation sheet is: 0 = FB + 17.5 N - W, because we know Fnet = 0[/sub][/sub]

Hello all, I'm doing some major review for a upcoming final and am making sure to fill in some arithmetic gaps. I am trying study using only my equation sheet given for my course. I am having a hard time understanding the relationships between some of the equations that are given...
