Consider a mass going through a polytropic process where pressure is directly proportional to volume $(n=-1) .$ The process starts with $P=0$ $V=0$ and ends with $P=600 \mathrm{kPa}, V=0.01 \mathrm{m}^{3}$ Find the boundary work done by the mass.
A cylinder with initial volume V contains a sample of a gas at pressure p. On one end of the cylinder, a piston is let free to move so that the gas slowly expands in such a way that its pressure is directly proportional to its volume. After the gas reaches the volume 3V and pressure 3p, the piston is pushed in so that the gas is compressed isobarically to its original volume V. The gas is then cooled isochorically until it returns to the original volume and pressure. Find the work W done on the gas during the entire process.

An ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of $6.00 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Pa}$ from a volume of 1.00 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ to a volume of 4.00 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ and then is compressed to one-third that pressure and a volume of 2.50 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 12.32$ before returning to its initial state. How much work is done in taking a gas through one cycle of the process shown in the figure?
