$n$ moles of a van der Waals' gas obeying the equation of state $\left(p+\frac{n^2 a}{V^2}\right)(V-n b)=n R T$, where $a$ and $b$ are gas dependent constants, is made to undergo a cyclic process that is depicted by a rectangle in the $p-V$ diagram as shown below. What is the heat absorbed by the gas in one cycle?
