Question
A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 3.2 kg
and a cross sectional area of 35 cm². A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 150 N
on the piston. The atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa.
a) Draw the free body diagram of the piston [.]
b) Determine the pressure inside the cylinder [s.]
c) If the spring is removed from the system, what would you recommend to keep the piston at the
same position? Propose at least two scenarios [
d) In connection with question in c), how much should be the weight of the piston so that the piston
does not move? [I
150 N
Patm = 95 kPa
