As shown in the figure below, air is contained in a vertical piston-cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a pressure of 14.7 lbf/in.2 on top of the 8-in.-diameter piston. The absolute pressure of the air inside the cylinder is 20 lbf/in.². The local acceleration of gravity is g = 32.2 ft/s². Patm = 14.7 lbf/in.² 8=32.2 ft/s² Dpiston Air Pair Determine (a) the mass of the piston, in lb, and (b) the gage pressure of the air in the cylinder, in psig.

A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff and a manometer used to measure air pressure in the cuff. In a mercury sphygmomanometer, blood pressure is related to the difference in helghts between two columns of mercury. The mercury sphygmomanometer shown in the figure below contains air at the cuff pressure P. Po The difference in mercury heights between the left tube and the right tube is h= 109 mmtg - 0.109 m, a normal systolic reading. What is the gauge systolic blood pressure Poauge in pascals? The density of mercury is p 13.6 x 10 kg/m and the ambient pressure is Po1.01 x 10 Pa. HINT Pa

A 0.527 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.35, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atmand that the top of the tube is open to the air.
A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 22.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction. The inner radius of the cylinder, and the radius of the piston, is 8.00 cm. The top of the piston is exposed to the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa. The cylinder has a height of 30.0 cm, and, when the temperature of the gas is 20°C, the bottom of the piston is 11.0 cm above the bottom of the cylinder. (A) Find the number of moles of ideal gas in the cylinder. (B) Heat is added, gradually raising the temperature of the gas to 160°C. Calculate the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the bottom of the piston when the piston comes to its new equilibrium position.
