A piston-cylinder system contains R-134a as shown in the figure. Two linear springs with the same spring constant but different lengths are installed above the frictionless piston. Initially (state 1) the piston is motionless and floating so that the top of the piston is 2 cm from the bottom of Spring I and 5 cm from the bottom of Spring 2. In this initial state the R-134a has a temperature of T, = -20°C and a quality of 70%. Heat is added to the system causing the piston to rise until it just touches Spring 1, but Spring 1 exerts no force on the piston. In this state (state 2), the R-134a has a volume V2 = 30 L. Heating continues until the temperature reaches T3 = 50 °C and Spring 1 is compressed until the piston just touches Spring 2 but Spring 2 exerts no force on the niston (State
