उत्तर
The first law of thermodynamics is one of the most useful equations when dealing with internal energy, and it states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.
∆U = Q − W

In changing the state of a gas adiabatically from an equilibrium state A to another equilibrium state B, an amount of work equal to 22.3 J is done on the system. If the gas is taken from state A to B via a process in which the net heat absorbed by the system is 9.35 cal, how much is the net work done by the system in the latter case? (Take 1 cal = 4.19 J)
