A sample of gas expands as shown in the figure below, where \( V_0 = 8.0 \, \text{m}^3 \) and \( p_0 = 64 \, \text{Pa} \). How much work is done by the gas if its pressure changes with volume via each of the three paths shown in the figure?

### Diagram Explanation:

The graph displays three paths (A, B, C) on a Pressure (\(\text{Pa}\)) vs. Volume (\(\text{m}^3\)) plot:

- **Path A**: A horizontal line from \((V_0, p_0)\) to \((4.0V_0, p_0)\) indicating constant pressure.
- **Path B**: A diagonal line from \((4.0V_0, p_0)\) to \((V_0, 0)\) indicating a linear decrease in pressure as volume decreases.
- **Path C**: A horizontal line from \((V_0, 0)\) to \((4.0V_0, 0)\) indicating zero pressure.

### Work Calculation:

The work done by the gas is equal to the area between the plot and the horizontal axis. If a path is rightward, the area is positive; if it is leftward, the area is negative.

### Problem Solving Section:

### Answers:
- **(a) Path A**: \(192 \, \text{J}\) 
- **(b) Path B**: \([Answer Pending]\) Labeled as \(J\)
- **(c) Path C**: \([Answer Pending]\) Labeled as \(J\)

**Note**: The red cross next to Path A indicates an incorrect entry for the work calculation.
