Explanation
Work done in isobaric expansion
Steps:
- Identify process as isobaric expansion at P = 2.2×10^4 Pa.
- Work done by gas W = P ΔV, where ΔV is volume change.
- ΔV = A × h, with h = 0.50 m, but cross-sectional area A unknown.
- Cannot compute numerical W without A.
Why D is correct:
- D likely states insufficient data for work calculation, per W = P A h requiring A.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Assumes given values suffice, ignores missing A.
- B: Misapplies formula without ΔV details.
- C: Incorrectly uses gravity or other force, not gas pressure.
Not enough information.
Final answer: D
