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.

Answer:
Force D
Explanation:
In order to answer the question, let's keep in mind that the force of gravity on an object on Earth is the attractive force exerted by the Earth on the object; its direction is always downward (towards the Earth's centre), and its magnitude is given by
F = mg
where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity.
It follows immediately that in the figure, the force of gravity is the only force acting downward: therefore, force D.
The other forces are called:
Force A: thrust (it is the forward force generated by the engines)
Force B: lift (it is the upward produced by the aerodynamics of the wings)
Force C: air resistance (it is the backward force due to the friction between the air and the surface of the plane)
