  1. Work is done on an adiabatic system due to which its velocity changes from 10 m/s to 20 m/s, elevation increases by 20 m and temperature increases by 1 K. The mass of the system is 10 kg. cv = 100 J/(kgK) and gravitational acceleration is 10 m/s². If there is no change in any other component of the energy of the system, the magnitude of total work done (in kJ) on the system is ______.
    1. 4.5 kJ.
    2. 5.5 kJ.
    3. 6.4 kJ.
    4. 6.5 kJ.
Correct Option: A

Using SFEE

m
1
-
2
+ (z1 - z2)g + (h1 - h2) = W
22

10
10²
-
20²
+ (-20) × 10 + (100 × - 1) = W
22

W = – 4.5 kJ
∴ Work done on the system is 4.5 kJ.
