What work is done by a system on its environment when an ideal gas is maintained at a constant pressure of 200 newtons/meter^2 during an isobaric process, while the volume decreases by 0.2 cubic meters?

Anyone help? i got 3 minutes :(

OpenStudy (shamim):

i think the formula will b\[dW=PdV\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

\[P=200N\]

OpenStudy (shamim):

\[dV=0.2 m ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shamim Quick question, do i plug that in the formula and just solve for \[dW\] ?

OpenStudy (shamim):

ya

OpenStudy (shamim):

\[dW=200 \times 0.2\]

Thank you :)

@missMob Look! I remember i posted it yesterday x) But one problem, the formula he gave me equaled 40J but it was wrong?
