In a steam engine the pressure and volume of steam satisfy the equation pv1.4 = k, where k is a constant. (this is true for adiabatic expansion, that is, expansion in which there is no heat transfer between the cylinder and its surroundings.) calculate the work done by the engine during a cycle when the steam starts at a pressure of 140 lb/in2 and a volume of 100 in3 and expands to a volume of 600 in3. (round your answer to two decimal places.)

What happens in a global convection cell

Apulley system is used to lift a 2,000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters. the operator must apply a force of 250 newtons to the chain of the pulley system to lift the motor. to lift the engine 3 meters, the operator must pull a total of 30 meters of chain through the pulley system. what is the value of di?

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c.what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?
