QUESTION:

A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 4 kg and a cross– sectional area of 35 \(\mathrm{Cm}^{2}\). A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 60 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 60 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

           

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

        Mass of the piston m = 4 kg

        Area of cross section of the piston A =  or

        Force exerted by the spring F = 60 N

        The atmospheric pressure  kPa

        Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8
