EXPERIMENT PROBLEM: A certain mechanical device with a mechanism similar to a piston contains a certain amount of gas. Upon compression from 55 L to 15 L, the gas released 350 J of heat. Experiment shows that the external pressure of the mechanical device is given by: Pext = AsinV + BcosV + CsinhV + DcoshV Where: A = 100 B = 80 C = 1x10⁻²⁵ D = 5x10⁻³⁰ sin = sine function cos = cosine function sinh = hyperbolic sine function cosh = hyperbolic cosine function V = in liters Pext = in atm Determine the change in internal energy of the system in kilojoules. TIP: usually, expressions involving trigonometric functions are in radians.
