A body weighing 10 kilograms was transferred an amount of heat of 120 J and raised it above the earth’s surface by 5 m

A body weighing 10 kilograms was transferred an amount of heat of 120 J and raised it above the earth’s surface by 5 meters. Determine how much the body’s internal energy has increased?

According to the first law of thermodynamics.

Q is the amount of heat imparted to the body.

A – work done by the body.

dU = change in internal energy.

Q = dU + A.

dU = Q – A.

The body was given 120 Joules of heat.

When the body is raised to a height of 5 meters, the body does not work.

A = 0.

dU = 120 – 0 = 120 J.

Answer: 120 J.
