Problem

An ideal diatomic gas with γ=75\gamma=\frac{7}{5} undergoes a process in which its internal energy is related to volume by U=αVU=\alpha\sqrt{V}, where α\alpha is a constant. (1) Find the work performed by the gas when its internal energy increases by 100 J100\text{ J}. (2) Find the molar specific heat of the gas during the process.
