When a pressure of 500 Nm-2 applied the volume changes from 0.05m3 to 0.03m3 then work done by the system is:

Correct answer: A. 10 J

  • A. 10 J
  • B. -5 J
  • C. -10 J
  • D. +5 J

Explanation

W=PΔV ΔV= Change in volume = -0.03m3-0.05m3=-0.02m3 W=−(500Nm−2)×(−0.02m3)=10J Hence this option is incorrect.
