3-26) 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 cm². A compressed spring above the pis- ton exerts a force of 60 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder. Answer: 123.4 kPa
