A cylinder of ideal gas is closed by a 4kg movable piston of area 30cm2. When the gas is heated from 50oC to 100oC, the piston raises 20cm. The piston is then held in place and the gas is cooled back to 50oC. If Q1 is the heat added to the gas in the heating process and Q2 is the heat lost during cooling, then Q1Q2 can be approximated as 10λ, where λ is an integer between (0 to 9). Find λ.
