Answer

$W = -25.30\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For the initial state, saturated at 0.5 MPa, with 30% quality: From steam tables: $T_1 = 151.83°C,\ v_{1,L} = 0.001093\ m³/kg,\ v_{1,G} = 0.37483\ m³/kg$ $v_1 = v_{1,L} + x(v_{1,G} -v_{1,L} )= 0.11321\ m³/kg$ For the second state, saturated liquid at 100°C: $P_2 = 101.42\ kPa,\ v_2 = 0.001043\ m³/kg$ With the linear change in pressure and volume to to the spring, the work is area under the trapezoid: $W = m(v_2-v_1)(\frac{P_1+P_2}{2})$ $W = -25.30\ kJ$
