Determining the boundary work and final temperature in a piston cylinder.

One tenth kilogram of Argon is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly.  Initially at 4900 K and a volume of 40 liters, the gas undergoes an isobaric process during which the heat input is 30 kJ.  Determine the boundary work and final temperature.
