The figure below shows a piston-cylinder assembly fitted with a spring of stiffness k = 29.7 N/m whose
relaxed state occurs when the piston touches the left wall of the cylinder. The cylinder contains air and the
spring is in a vacuum. The piston face, which has an area of 178 cm², is 99 cm from the left wall after being
initially pressurized with air. During a hold, in which no additional air enters the assembly, a force f = 7.7 N is
required as shown. After the hold, the piston is observed to move 22 cm to the right. Friction between the
piston and cylinder is negligible.
