can you explain the answer step by step with extra details please?

2) (50 pts) Air is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly fitted with an electrical resistor. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar on the top of the piston, which has a mass of and area of . Electric current passes through the resistor, and the volume of the air slowly increases by while its pressure remains constant. The mass of the air is , and its specific internal energy increases by . The air and piston are at rest initially and finally. The piston-cylinder system is well insulated. Friction between the piston and cylinder wall can be ignored, and the local acceleration of gravity is , Determine the electrical work performed by the resistor, in . (See figure 2)
