  • 61.6 J
  • 431.2 J
  • 616 J
  • 19.6 J
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

In a cyclic process, the internal energy change (\(\Delta U\)) is nil. Consequently, the absorbed heat (\(\Delta Q\)) equates to the work performed (\(\Delta W\)), represented by the area under the P-V curve. This area is computed as:

\[ \Delta Q = \Delta W = \pi \times (140 \times 10^3) \, \text{Pa} \times (140 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m}^3) \]

\[ \Delta Q = 61.6 \, \text{J} \]
