Homework Statement
i have to find the W done in an Adiabatic, Quasistatic compression and I am not having much luck.
Ive calculated it using (delta)U = Q + W, since Q = 0, hence W = change in internal energy
However i want to calculate it using W = -(delta)P*V
The Attempt at a Solution
My working is attached, my text just says to use W = delta(U), but i know there is a way to do it via pressure and volume, I am just not sure where to go from where I am at.
Attempt is attached
Has to be in terms of TA, n (moles) and R
Cheers Trent
