PV diagrams - part 2: Isothermal, isometric, adiabatic processes

Calculate the work done due to this reversible, isothermal expansion of the real gas. Keep in mind not to use an equation blindly. Go through the individual steps, starting with the force against which the work is being carried out (don't forget the pebbles). Get ready for some more serious integration.Hint: Formulate the answer as an integral over the volume change dV instead of the change of the piston position dh.
