    Three processes form a thermodynamic cycle as shown on $P-V$ diagram for an ideal gas. Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ takes place at constant temperature $(300K$). Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ takes place at constant volume. During this process $40J$ of heat leaves the system. Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic and temperature $T_3$ is $275K$. Work done by the gas during the process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is ..... $J$
