A PV diagram with pressure P on the vertical axis in units of 10^5 Pa and volume V on the horizontal axis in units of 10^-3 m^3. A rectangular path connects four points: Point 1 is at (2, 3), point 2 is at (5, 3), point 3 is at (5, 1), and point 4 is at (2, 1). Arrows indicate the cycle moves clockwise from 1 to 2, then 2 to 3, then 3 to 4, and finally 4 back to 1.
Pressure vs. Volume for a cyclic thermodynamic process.
A sample of an ideal gas is taken through the cycle \(1 \to 2 \to 3 \to 4 \to 1\) as shown in the pressure-volume (\(P\)-\(V\)) diagram. What is the net work done by the gas during one complete cycle?
