SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the work done by a gas in thermodynamic processes, specifically involving a piston and a spring. The relevant equation is the ideal gas law, expressed as pv=nRT. Participants reference previous discussions on Physics Forums that addressed similar problems, providing links for further exploration. The problem in question is identified as originating from the IIT JEE exam in 2015, highlighting its relevance in academic settings.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of the ideal gas law (pv=nRT)
- Knowledge of thermodynamic principles, particularly work done by gases
- Familiarity with concepts of internal energy changes
- Basic understanding of piston-spring systems in thermodynamics
- Research the application of the ideal gas law in various thermodynamic processes
- Study the relationship between work done and internal energy in thermodynamics
- Explore the concept of work done by gases on springs and other mechanical systems
- Review past IIT JEE exam questions related to thermodynamics for practical application
Students preparing for competitive exams like IIT JEE, educators teaching thermodynamics, and anyone interested in the practical applications of gas laws in physics.

This same exact problem appeared in Physics Forums a couple of months ago. Does anyone remember who the OP was or what the title was?
