PV diagram of the cyclic process.
PV diagram of the cyclic process.
An ideal gas undergoes a four-step cyclic process shown in the \(P\)-\(V\) diagram. The gas expands isobarically at a constant pressure of \(600 \text{ Pa}\) from a volume of \(2.0 \text{ m}^3\) to \(5.0 \text{ m}^3\), cools at constant volume to a pressure of \(200 \text{ Pa}\), compresses isobarically at \(200 \text{ Pa}\) back to \(2.0 \text{ m}^3\), and is heated at constant volume back to its initial state. What is the net work done by the gas during one complete cycle?
