A long tube with cross sectional area 0.468m² and height 7.21m is standing vertically and filled with an ideal gas. A distance 6.71m from the bottom of the tube is a massless and thin plunger that can move up and down and prevents the gas beneath the plunger from escaping. Above the plunger, a fluid of density 1770kg/m³ can be added. Before the fluid is added, the gas column beneath the plunger is at room temperature (298K) and pressure (101000Pa). This is illustrated in the image below. The fluid is added above the plunger until it is a depth of 0.5m. What is the pressure on the top of the plunger after the fluid is added? 119472 Pa
