Question

A closed system with a mass of 15 lbm is pulled up a rough inclined slope. 8 lbf is applied to raise the
system and overcome friction while the system traverses 3 ft along the surface. During this process, the
system loses 0.3 Btu by a combination of radiation and convection and an electric resistance heater
inside the system draws 0.25 kW of electricity over 2 s. At the start of the process the system has a
velocity of 7 ft/s and an elevation of 6 ft above the ground. At the end of the process the system has a
velocity of 1 ft/s, an elevation of 8 ft and an internal energy of 4 Btu. Find the internal energy at state 1,
in Btu.
