A thermodynamic system undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in figu

1.	A thermodynamic system undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in figure. The work done by the system in the cycle is
Answer» `P_(0)V_(0)` `2P_(0)V_(0)` `(P_(0)V_(0))/(2)` zero Solution :In a CYCLIC process work done is EQUAL to the area under the cycle and is positive if the cycle is clockwise and negative if anticlockwise. As is CLEAR from figure, `W_(AEDA) = + "area of " DELTA AED = + (1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)` `W_(BCEB) = -"Area of "Delta BCE = -(1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)` The net work done by the system is `W_("net") = W_(AEDA) + W_(BCEB) = + (1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0) - (1)/(2)P_(0)V_(0)` = zero
