Design an experiment to determine the work done on a gas by an external force.

(A) List the items you would use to perform this investigation.

(B) Sketch a simple diagram of your investigation. Make sure to label all items and label any measurements that will be made.

(C) Outline the experimental procedure you would use to gather the necessary data. Indicate the measurements to be taken and how the measurement will be used to obtain the data needed. Make sure your outline contains sufficient detail so that another student could follow your procedure and duplicate your results.

(D) On the axis, sketch the line or curve that you predict will represent a plot of the data gathered from this experiment. Show how the graph could be used to determine the work done on the gas.
