Problem

An enclosed ideal gas completes the following cycle: • Step 1: It expands isobarically at

200\,\text{kPa}

from

0.020\,\text{m}^3

0.030\,\text{m}^3

. • Step 2: At constant volume, the pressure decreases to

120\,\text{kPa}

. • Step 3: It is compressed isobarically at

120\,\text{kPa}

back to the initial volume of

0.020\,\text{m}^3

. Calculate the net work done on the gas over the entire cycle. State the answer with sign and proper units.
