When a system is taken from thermodynamic state $i$ to $f$ along the path $iaf$ (see figure), it is found that the heat $Q$ absorbed by the system is $50\ cal$ and work $W$ done by the system is equal to $20\ cal$ . Along the path ibf $Q = 36\ cal$ . What is $W$ along the path ibf?  ........... $\mathrm{cal}$
