Question:

Given the data below, find the isothermal work done on the gas as it is compressed from 23 L to 3 L (remember that W = - ∫v2v1 p dV|).

23 13 18 | 3 V,L 12.5 3.5 1.4 1.8 1.2 P, atm 00


(a) Find the work performed on the gas numerically, using the 1-, 2-, and 4-segment trapezoidal rule.

(b) Compute the ratios of the errors in these estimates and relate them to the error analysis of the multiapplication trapezoidal rule discussed in Chap. 21.
