Typo in PR book??
Personally I think PR has tons of mistakes. I think I've found one in the book and it confuses me. Can someone see if it is a mistake? Thanks
PR says: "The expanding gas did negative work against its surroundings, pushing the piston upward."
--I think it should be: The expanding gas did positive work against its surroundings, pushing the piston upward. I think the book meant that the surroundings did negative work on the system.
This is a typo right?
