For the cycle shown,

physics "view":[-1.8,-1.45,6.55,4.55],"alt":"A rectangle: X (0.5, 1.5) up to Y (0.5, 2.0), across to Z (1.5, 2.0), down to W (1.5, 1.5) and back to X.","items":["type":"plot","at":[0,0],"size":[4.8,4.0],"x":[0,2],"y":[0,2.4],"xTicks":[0.5,1.0,1.5],"yTicks":[1.0,1.5,2.0],"grid":false,"xLabel":"Volume (10^-3 m^3)","yLabel":"Pressure (10^5 Pa)","yLabelMode":"side","yLabelGap":40,"items":["type":"polyline","points":[[1.5,1.5],[0.5,1.5],[0.5,2.0],[1.5,2.0],[1.5,1.5]],"width":2.2,"colour":"ink","arrows":[0.12,0.35,0.62,0.88],"smooth":false,"type":"point","at":[0.5,1.5],"label":"X","anchor":"sw","r":4.5,"type":"point","at":[0.5,2.0],"label":"Y","anchor":"nw","r":4.5,"type":"point","at":[1.5,2.0],"label":"Z","anchor":"ne","r":4.5,"type":"point","at":[1.5,1.5],"label":"W","anchor":"se","r":4.5],"originLabel":"0","gridX":[0.5,1.0,1.5],"gridY":[1.0,1.5,2.0],"xLabelMode":"below","xLabelGap":40]

how much work, in joules, does the gas do from Y to Z?
