Question
 Steam to drive an old-fashioned steam locomotive is supplied at a constant gauge pressure of 1.95 × 106 N/m2 to a piston with a 0.23 m radius.
 
 
  50% Part (a)  By calculating PΔV , find the work done by the steam when the piston moves 0.84 m in J. Note that this is the net work output, since gauge pressure is used. 
W = 2.72 * 105
W = 272000     ✔ Correct!
 
  50% Part (b)  Now find the amount of work done by calculating the force exerted times the distance traveled in J. 
W =
