Description
When a system changes from a given initial state to a given final state, both the work W and the heat Q depend on the nature of
the process. Experimentally, however, we find that the quantity Q – W is the same for all processes. It depends only on the initial and final states, and does not depend at all on how the system gets from one state to the other. All other combinations of Q and W, including Q alone, W alone, Q + W, and Q - 2W, are path dependent; only the quantity Q – W is not.

LEVELLING
Leveling is the process of height determination. It finds application in all stages of engineering survey, from topographical mapping to setting out. Through leveling, the heights of points above the mean sea level (elevations) are determined and hence parameters such as gradient or slope could be computed.
In order to execute leveling, an optical or digital level is required to be used in conjunction with a tripod and a leveling staff.
