Show that the energy stored when air is compressed adiabatically from pressure p 0 to pressure p

Question:

Show that the energy stored when air is compressed adiabatically from pressure p0 to pressure pH in a final volume VH = V is given by

„(adiabatic) ´stored (H1/r)r-H)}{1-1/1) РнV

after the work done by/on the atmosphere is subtracted.Here r = pH/p0 and γ = 1.4 is the adiabatic index of air.
