Consider a monoatomic ideal gas undergoing the following cycle: starting point (a), pressure increases at a constant volume reaching point (b), then the gas expands adiabatically until pressure reaches the initial value (point c), and then the gas is compressed at a constant pressure until the volume reaches the initial value back to point (a). The amount of gas is 1 mole. Monoatomic gas means it has only 3 degrees of freedom and the adiabatic constant gamma is 5/3. Sketch...
