Calculate the net work done by the gas along the closed path in the direction indicated. The curved section between semicircular
Hint for (2)E The net work done is given by the area between the curves (area under the rightward curve minus the area under the leftward curve). To avoid unnecessary calculus, find the numerical value of the area under the curve (in units of area at L V) and then convert units.

Hint for (6) Think through the wording carefully. For the negative work done, should the answer point in the opposite direction? Would you say that positive work was done or not?
