Work Done in Irreversible Process Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Irreversible Work Done = -External Pressure*Volume change
Wirr = -Pext*dV
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Irreversible Work Done - (Measured in Joule) - Irreversible Work Done means that we can only bring the piston back to the starting state if we change the surrounding system.
External Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - External Pressure are always present when either the body forces are transmitted through support surfaces or, alternatively, when an orthosis applies correctional forces through soft tissues.
Volume change - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume change is the difference between the initial and final volumes of an sphere.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
External Pressure: 25 Pascal --> 25 Pascal No Conversion Required
Volume change: 20 Cubic Meter --> 20 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Wirr = -Pext*dV --> -25*20
Evaluating ... ...
Wirr = -500
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
-500 Joule --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
-500 Joule <-- Irreversible Work Done
