Question

The absolute value of the work done by the gas during a cycle (a process in which the gas returns to its original state) equals the area of the loop corresponding to the cycle. One must be careful, though, in judging whether the work done by the gas is positive or negative. One way to determine the total work is to calculate directly the work done by the gas during each step for the cycle and then add the results with their respective signs.

Part F Calculate the work W done by the gas during process 12651. Express your answer in terms of p0 and V0.
