Problem

A sample of ideal gas expands from

(P_1,V_1)=(1.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa},\;0.020\,\text{m}^3)

(P_2,V_2)=(3.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa},\;0.050\,\text{m}^3)

along a straight-line (linear) path on a PV diagram. Determine the work done BY the gas during this expansion. (a)

9.0\times10^{3}\;\text{J}

(b)

3.0\times10^{3}\;\text{J}

(c)

6.0\times10^{3}\;\text{J}

(d)

7.0\times10^{3}\;\text{J}
