Answer:

= - 303.975 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The volume of the cylinder = 0.003 m^3

Now, to liters:

The volume = 0.003 *1000 L

= 3 L

For an open cylinder, we mean the atmospheric pressure is at standard condition.

Thus, the workdone = -PΔV

= - 1 atm (3 L)

= - 3 L atm

1 L atm to Joules

= 101.325 Joules

Therefore;

=- 3* 101.325 Joules

= - 303.975 Joules
