This is really not a homework question. I'm learning thermal physics by Schroeder (2000) myself.
I'm stuck at Problem 5.17 page 160.

I can get Part (a) but Part (b), subtracting off the work that would be required even if the specimen were not present. I subtracted the work [tex]\frac{B}{\mu_0} dB[/tex] but it wasn't correct...
