1.5 Compression Work (1 of 2) (Thermal Physics) (Schroeder)
Although we can't calculate the force on each particle as it moves, nor can we calculate the force on the center of mass of a moving system, we can use the force applied to a piston to calculate the work done on a gas. The pressure times the change in the volume equals minus the work done on a gas.
