As we learnt

 

Work done in the cyclic process -

 

It is the area under the cycle.

- wherein

Work is positive if the cycle is clockwise. Work is negative if the cycle is anti-clockwise.

(for P - V diagram)

Work done is the area enclosed.

 Work\ done =\frac{1}{2}\left ( 3V_1-V_1 \right )(4P_1-P_1)

W=-3P_1V_1
