Given information
The pressure of the gas is a function of its volume.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The work done by a force F in moving a particle from to is given by .
The force F on a surface is given by, where P is the pressure and A is the area.
If P(V) is the pressure of the gas at volume V , then the force on the piston having area A is .
