Answer

$2.27 \space kJ$

Work Step by Step

The net work done of the rectangular area is $ W = (V-V_o) (P-P_o)$ Where $V = 2V_o$ and $P = 2P_o$ $ W = (2V_o-V_o) ( 2P_o-P_o)$ $ W = (V_o) ( P_o)$ Where $V_o = 0.0225 m^3$ and $P_o = 1.01 \times 10^5 Pa$ Substitute all values into equation $ W = ( 0.0225 m^3) (1.01 \times 10^5 Pa)$ $ W = 2272.5 J$ or $2.27 kJ$
