\[ W_{AB} = \int P\,dV \quad \text{(Assuming T to be constant)} \] \[ = \int \frac{RT\,dV}{V^3} \] \[ = RT \int_{2}^{4} V^{-3}\,dV \] \[ = 8 \times 300 \times \left( -\frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{2^2} \right] \right) \] \[ = 225\,J \] \[ W_{BC} = P \int_{4}^{2} dV = 10(2 - 4) = -20\,J \] \[ W_{CA} = 0 \] \[ \therefore W_{\text{cycle}} = 205\,J \]
We are given that the gas obeys the equation PV³ = RT during the path from A to B, and the process is cyclic.
To calculate the work done in the cycle, we need to analyze the area enclosed by the cycle in the P – V diagram, which represents the work done.
The work done in a cyclic process is given by the area enclosed by the cycle on the P – V diagram. The work is the integral of pressure with respect to volume along the path of the cycle.
Since the gas obeys the equation PV³ = RT, the work done can be calculated by finding the area under the curve from A to B and then calculating the work done along the other parts of the cycle.
By calculating the areas based on the graph provided, the total net work done over the complete cycle is found to be:
Wtotal = 205 J.
Thus, the net work done in the complete cycle is 205 J, and the correct answer is Option (2).
