A heat engine has the three step cycle shown above. Starting from point A, 1 L (liter) of an ideal gasexpands in an isobaric (constant pressure) process from A to B at a pressure of P = 2 atm. B to C is anisochoric process (constant volume) at a volume of V = 5 L, and C to A is an isothermal (constanttemperature) compression at a temperature of 300 K.a) Find the pressure (in atm) at point C.b) Suppose that the internal energy of the gas as a function of temperature is given by U(T) = 5.0 J/K XT. Find the energy exhausted as heat in the process from B to C.c) Suppose the net work done by the engine per cycle is 480 J. Find the work done by the gas during theprocess from C to A.
