A piston is used to pump water from a well. The cross-sectional area of the piston is 0.01 m^2 and the stroke length is 0.1 m. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa, the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and g = 9.8 m/s^2. Calculate the work done in joules by the piston in one complete cycle (up and down).
