45. A gas sample expands from Vo to 4.0Vo while its pressure decreases from po to po/4.0. If Vo = 1.0m^3 and po = 40 Pa, how much work is done by the gas if its pressure changes with volume via (a) path A, (b) path B, and (c) path C?
The p-V diagram can be found at the following addrs on slide/pg #37: http://people.virginia.edu/~ral5q/classes/phys631/summer09/Lecture_pdf/FINAL_LECTURE13.pdf
I know that the relevant equation here is Delta E = Q - W, and based on the given data is adiabatic and isothermal --> meaning Q=0 and T=>constant..
