(a)
Evaluate the mean value of the voltage, v (volts) over an interval t = 2 to
t = 10 seconds, where
v = 6(1 - e-2t)
Keep the answer as an exact value.

(b)
A gas is expanded in a piston according to the thermodynamics relation:
PV1.4 = 1963, where P is the pressure and V the volume.
The work done W by the gas is given by:
V2
W =
P dv
V1
where Vā and Vā are the initial volume and the final volume of the gas
respectively.
Calculate W, the work done by the gas, if the volume V changes from 0.016
m³ to 0.09 m³.
