At point A in a Carnot cycle, 2.34 mol of a monatomic ideal gas has a pressure of 1 400 kPa, a volume of 10.0 L, and a temperatu
re of 720 K. The gas expands isothermally to point B and then expands adiabatically to point C, where its volume is 24.0 L. An isothermal compression brings it to point D, where its volume is 15.0 L. An adiabatic process returns the gas to point A. (a) Determine all the unknown pressures, volumes, and temperatures as you fill in the following table. P V T A 1 400 kPa 10.0 L 720 K B C 24 L D 15 L (b) Find the energy added by heat, the work done by the engine, and the change in internal energy for each of the steps A ? B, B ? C, C ? D, and D ? A. Process Q (kJ) W (kJ) ?Eint (kJ) A ? B B ? C C ? D D ? A (c) Calculate the efficiency Wnet / |Qh|. % (d) Show that the efficiency is equal to 1 ? TC / TA, the Carnot efficiency. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

To perform an experiment to determine the force constant of a spring, you will need a stand with a boss and clamp, a spiral spring, a meter rule and different weights.
The setup is arranged as shown in the image attached. The natural length of the spring is first recorded. Different weights are added to the spring one after the other and the extension is recorded.
The weight is now plotted on the vertical axis and the extension is plotted on the horizontal axis. The slope of the graph is the force constant of the spring.
