A system consisting of a large boat and all its contents. The air inside the boat and outside the boat has the same temperature. The boat is moving north at a constant speed of 20 knots. The boat's engine runs on gasoline, exhaust gases (CO2 and water) are released into the atmosphere. There isn't any other matter going in and out of the system. Are the following statements true or false? Explain why? a. The system is in a steady state, because its velocity is constant. However, the system is not in equilibrium because it is moving, that is, the forces acting on the system are not in equilibrium. b. The system is not in a steady state because the amount of gasoline in the system changes. However, the system is in equilibrium because the temperature inside and outside the system is equal, there is no driving force for heat transfer c. The system is neither balanced nor stable d. The system is adiabatic because there is no incentive for heat transfer e. The system is isolated because there is no input and no heat transfer
