Several people on this list have suggested alternate forms of the
first law of thermodynamics. I would like to call on these folks to
make up and post an introductory-level homework problem that could
*best* be done using their alternate form. If possible, include
numerical values and make us calculate something. The only constraint
is that if your form of the first law has "X" in it (eg. thermal
energy) that the problem not specifically ask us to calculate X. It
may use X to get at something else, but shouldn't artificially force
us to use X just because of how the problem is worded.
