Units and force review Work is equal to force times distance. Remember that Force is equal to mass x acceleration ( kg m/s2 ,Newtons ) and distance must be in meters. The unit for work becomes a joule, so a joule is a Newton meter or Nm.
When using the work equation just multiply the force by the distance it moved and the unit is a joule (J)

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = 659.7 x 28 / 504.7

V2 = 36.60 in^3
