k) Now can you determine the internal energy of the gas? If so,
what is it?
Q = 0
first law => W = delta(K) + delta(E_int)
E_int_initial = unknown => please specify amount of gas and initial
temperature, or initial pressure and cross-sectional area of cylinder
but delta(E_int) = F*L/8
However, you cooked up this problem because it's supposed to reveal a
problem with this form of the first law, so I imagine you're going to
tell me something's wrong with this "solution."
l) Now can you determine the thermal energy of the gas? If so,
what is it?
I'm still not sure of the definition, but perhaps E_int?
m) If your answer to any of these is still "cannot determine"
please suggest a piece of information that would remove any
remaining ambiguity.
Please specify (N,T0) or (P0,A) so I can calculate E_int_initial.
