Actually, since density= m/V once substituted, the equation should be(p_{1} - p_{2}) V = 1/2 \rho (v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2}) therefore, Work would be\frac{(1.2 atm)(\frac{1.01\ast 10^5 pa}{1 atm})}{1.4 m^3}(1.2 atm) \frac{(1.01\ast 10^5 pa)}{1 atm} (1.4 m^3 ) which gives a final answer of 1.697 \ast 10^5 J
