Answer: work is the pressure acting through the change in volume

Step-by-step explanation:

In the same way that work is defined as force operating over a distance, work is the pressure acting through the change in volume. Pressure is comparable to force in pressure–volume work, while volume is analogous to distance in the classic definition of work.

Just as we say that work force acting over a distance,for fluids,we can say that work is the pressure acting through the change in volume. for pressure- volume work, pressure is analogous to force, and the traditional defination of work.
