An unknown gas in a cylinder-piston device is initially in equilibrium liters. It is compressed by a force that varies linearly with the volume of the gas inside the cylinder. It is known that when the total pressure on the gas is o.8 MPa the volume of the gas inside the cylinder is 4 liters. a) Determine the work (in Joules) of compression done on the gas from its initial state to when the volume of the gas inside the cylinder is 3 liters. b) Draw the process in Py coordinates, indicating the work done.

Question
An unknown gas in a cylinder-piston device is initially in equilibrium
with atmospheric pressure of o.10 MPa when it has a volume of 4.7
liters. It is compressed by a force that varies linearly with the volume of
the gas inside the cylinder. It is known that when the total pressure on
the gas is o.8 MPa the volume of the gas inside the cylinder is 4 liters.
a) Determine the work (in Joules) of compression done on the gas from
its initial state to when the volume of the gas inside the cylinder is 3
liters.
b) Draw the process in Py coordinates, indicating the work done.
