Question: An ideal gas sample is compressed quasistatically at constant temperature. The initial pressure and volume are (P_{mathrm{i}}=1.01 times 10^{5} mathrm{~Pa}) and (V_{mathrm{i}}=3.00 times 10^{-2} mathrm{~m}^{3}),

An ideal gas sample is compressed quasistatically at constant temperature. The initial pressure and volume are \(P_{\mathrm{i}}=1.01 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\) and \(V_{\mathrm{i}}=3.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{3}\), and the final volume is \(V_{\mathrm{f}}=2.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^{3}\). How much work is done on the gas during the compression?
