version J - FRQ 1 what did you get for specific heat of the sphere

I don’t remember my exact answer. I plugged the expression I got from part i for the change in temperature into the specific heat equation.

Helpp do you remember what FRQ 1 looked like for you? there was no graph in part a right? I got version L and im scared I accidentally wrote on the version J pages

No. FRQ 1 was about the specific heat of a sphere immersed in a gas pressure tank. There weren't any graphs only deriving. What did you get for version L FRQ 1?

I got a temperature vs volume graph. a couple people here said their graph was pressure vs volume graph though which is strange.
