Air is pumped into a balloon, of initial volume $V$ , until its diameter has doubled. If the atmospheric pressure is $p$ , what is the work done against the atmosphere ? 

A

$pV$

B

$3\ pV$

C

$4\ pV$

D

$7\ pV$

Solution

$V\ \propto \  R^3, R \rightarrow  2R$ then $V \rightarrow  8V$

Work $ = P (8V -V) = 7PV$ [isobaric process]
