Question:

A volume v of gas is confined in a cylinder, one end of which is closed by a movable piston. If A is the area in square inches of the face of the piston and x is the distance in inches from the cylinder head to the piston, then v = Ax. The pressure of the confined gas is a continuous function p of the volume, and p(v) = p(Ax) will be denoted by f(x). Show that the work done by the piston in compressing the gas from a volume v1 = Ax1 to a volume v2 = Ax2 is
