Steam to drive an old-fashioned steam locomotive is supplied at a constant gauge pressure of 1.9110⁶ N/m² to a piston with a 0.156-m radius. By calculating PV, find the work done by the steam when the piston moves 0.713 m. Note that this is the net work output, since gauge pressure is used. Give your answer in kilojoules.
