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