The drawing shows an ideal gas confined to a cylinder by a massless piston that is attached to an ideal spring. Outside the cylinder is a vacuum. The cross-sectional area of the piston is A-2.50 x 103 m². The initial pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas are. respectively. Po. Vo 6.00 x 10 m³ and To-273 K, and the spring is initially stretched by an amount x,-0.087 m with respect to its unstrained length.

A gas is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly by a piston with a face area of 50 in² and weight of 100 lbf. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lb/in² on top of the piston. A paddle wheel transfers 3 Btu of energy to the gas during a process in which the elevation of the piston increases slowly by 2 ft. The piston and cylinder are poor thermal conductors, and friction between the piston and cylinder can be neglected. Determine the work done by the gas on the piston, in Btu, and the change in internal energy of the gas, in Btu.
