Problem

Find the work done on an ideal gas and the quantity of heat which it gains on going through a cyclic process (i.e. one in which it returns to its initial state at the end of the process), consisting of two isochoric and two isobaric processes: the gas goes from a state with pressure and volume P1P_1, V1V_1 to states P1P_1, V2V_2; P2P_2, V2V_2; P2P_2, V1V_1; P1P_1, V1V_1 again.
