Problem 122HP
A cylinder has a thick piston initially held by a pin, as shown in Fig. P.2.122. The cylinder contains carbon dioxide at 200 kPa and ambient temperature of 290 K. The metal piston has a density of 8000 kg/m3 and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The pin is now removed, allowing the piston to move, and after a while the gas returns to ambient temperature. Is the piston against the stops?
