Thermodynamics: Practice Problem & Solution

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Thermodynamics. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, \(\Delta Q = \Delta U + W\). Substituting the values, \(110\text{ J} = 40\text{ J} + W \Rightarrow W = 70\text{ J}\).
